Green, superintendent of Abilene schools from 1917 until his death in 1937. Green led the school system through a period of rapid city growth and rising enrollment, and most surviving older-neighborhood schools were built under his administration. The house was his home until his death and is the building most closely tied to him.","narrative":"This two-story frame house at 1358 Highland Street in Abilene, Texas, was built around 1927 and reflects the Prairie School influence common in the city's neighborhoods. It has a boxy form, a moderately pitched side-gable roof with extended box eaves, brick veneer walls, and a two-story gable wing at the southwest corner. An L-shaped front porch rests on square brick columns with tapered caps. Windows are mostly modern replacements or hidden behind shutters. A one-story frame bungalow, apparently used as a rental, stands behind the house and is counted as a contributing building. The property is significant for its link to Roland D. Green, who served as Abilene's superintendent of schools from 1917 until his death in 1937. During his tenure the city grew quickly, and he and the school board responded to rising enrollment by building new schools. The house was his residence until he died and is the building most closely associated with his career.","period_of_significance":"c. 1927-1937","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Prairie School","criteria":["B"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition and retaining its integrity; still used as a single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:20.897391-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/6/9701/40970106/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/92000207.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000207/0386fa3fe3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000207/0386fa3fe3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roland_Green_House_Abilene_Texas.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roland_Green_House_Abilene_Texas.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970106","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107320268"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/taylor-county/green-roland-a-d-house-92000207/"}
