Colorado in Victoria, Victoria County, Texas, built around 1905 in an L-plan, with a two-story garage/apartment on the lot.","why_significant":"The house is argued to be significant under Criterion C for architecture. It represents a transitional phase in Victoria's architectural development, combining Victorian form with colonial-influenced details, especially on the porch. It is considered an excellent local example of turn-of-the-century architecture.","narrative":"Built around 1905 on Colorado Street in an area north of Victoria's original townsite, this two-story wood-frame house follows an L-plan, a form popular at the turn of the century. It has weatherboard siding, a bell-cast hipped roof with box eaves and crown molding, an interior brick chimney, and paired one-over-one wood sash windows. A tripartite bay projects on the first level, with geometric patterns in the upper sashes. A one-story L-shaped porch with a gable roof rests on paired tapered columns on cast stone bases, with squared wood balusters. The house blends Victorian massing with colonial-influenced details, most visible on the porch, and so shows a transitional stage in the city's architecture. It was recognized for that architectural value as an excellent local example of its period. A two-story garage/apartment stands on the property. The house has been recently rehabilitated, remains in residential use, and is in good condition. The architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular dwelling with Victorian form and colonial/Classical Revival influenced details","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Recently rehabilitated and in good condition; in residential use; screened-in balcony reopened.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.182523-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/66/9704/40970466/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/91000576.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000576/6c02752879-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000576/6c02752879-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"ProfReader","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:402_West_Colorado_Street.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">ProfReader</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:402_West_Colorado_Street.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970466","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002625"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/house-at-402-w-colorado-91000576/"}
