It blends Bungalow form with Prairie School detailing.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is architecturally significant under Criterion C as one of Abilene's most unusual Bungalows. It combines typical Bungalow form and massing with Prairie School porch columns and a low-pitched red clay tile hipped roof. It is also tied to the 1920s boom that produced the Sayles Boulevard residential area.","narrative":"Built around 1929 at 1302 Sayles Boulevard in Abilene, this one-story brick house is an eclectic take on the Bungalow. It has a rectangular plan, combined hipped and gable rooflines, a clay tile roof and cast stone trim. A broad front porch rests on massive brick piers, and a side-gabled porte cochere extends from the south side. A matching brick garage with a tile roof sits at the northwest corner of the lot. The design applies Prairie School ideas, seen in the porch columns, to a typical Bungalow form. Abilene has many bungalows, most only slight variations on one basic type, but this house is unlike any other in the city. It stands just south of the Sayles Boulevard Historic District, in an area that drew many prominent citizens during the 1920s boom. Albert S. and Ruth Goodloe were its first owners; he was one of many oil operators based in Abilene at the time. The house remains a single dwelling in good condition.","period_of_significance":"c. 1929","architect_builder":"unknown (Castle, David S., unconfirmed)","architectural_style":"Bungalow; Prairie School","criteria":["C"],"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 02:54:21.708171-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/30/9700/40970030/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/92000232.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000232/06caeb692c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000232/06caeb692c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Albert_Goodloe_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:Albert_Goodloe_House_Abilene_Texas.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970030","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107320267"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/taylor-county/goodloe-albert-s-and-ruth-house-92000232/"}
