It has remained virtually unaltered since 1936 and shows fine brickwork and craftsmanship typical of builders working for local lumber companies in the 1920s and 1930s.","narrative":"Built in 1936 at the corner of Avenue A and West 45th Street in Austin's Hyde Park, this 1 1/2-story house is a brick-veneered, wood-frame example of Tudor Revival design. Asymmetrical massing, steeply pitched cross-gabled roofs, a massive chimney with inset panels, stepped arches at the entry portico and diamond-paned casement windows give it the style's characteristic look. A detached two-story garage/apartment clad in wood siding, probably built at the same time, also contributes to the property. Kenneth N. Sanders designed and built the house for contractor Robert H. McCauley and his wife Edith, under a $3,500 contract signed in 1936. Sanders worked as a draftsman for local lumber companies, and the house reflects the craftsmanship of builders in that setting. Constructed near the end of Hyde Park's peak building period, it remains virtually unaltered despite its position near a busy intersection, and was listed for its local architectural significance.","period_of_significance":"1936","architect_builder":"Sanders, Kenneth N.","architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Current use is a single dwelling; the house is described as virtually unaltered.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.770187-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/1/9703/40970301/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/90001236.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001236/c71c32eaa9-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/90001236/c71c32eaa9-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 4.0","author":"Larry D.
