Miller to designs by New York architect Harrie T. Lindeberg.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant at the state level under Criterion C for Architecture. It is one of five Lindeberg commissions in Shadyside and a strong example of the eclectic American country house of the early 20th century. It also reflects the garden suburb setting and Lindeberg's skill in reconciling climate, planning and composition.","narrative":"Set on about one and a half acres in Houston's small Shadyside neighborhood, this two-story brick house was designed in 1922 and completed by 1924. New York architect Harrie T. Lindeberg planned it as a suburban country house, and Houston builder Chris J. Miller served as general contractor. Its walls are Belgian brick laid in Flemish bond under a slate hipped roof, with Georgian Revival formality and Regency details such as a hooded copper entrance canopy. The principal rooms face Main Street across a private garden, while the entrance opens onto a motor court. Inside, the dining room has Zuber wallpaper and the reception hall has a freestanding curved stair. Additions were made in 1951, 1954 and 1964, and the gardens were replanted in 1955 around live oaks set out in 1924. The original garage with apartments survives. The house is notable as one of five Lindeberg designs in Shadyside and as a state-level example of early twentieth-century country house architecture. It remains a private residence.","period_of_significance":"1924-1941","architect_builder":"Harrie T. Lindberg, New York (architect); Christian J.
