Schoeppl. It is the only house of this style in the Westmoreland Addition, which makes it a prominent neighborhood element. Its rare style, quality design and architectural detail support its eligibility at the local level under Criterion C.","narrative":"Built in 1924 at 220 Westmoreland Avenue in Houston, this two-story brick-veneered house follows the Italian Renaissance Revival style. It has a low-pitched hipped roof of ceramic tile, wide eaves with rounded rafter tails, stucco panels, and cast concrete ornament around the arched front windows and entry. Inside, an unusual staircase with plaster flower boxes and a detailed plaster fireplace stand out. Houston architect C.B. Schoeppl designed it for banker Fred J. Heyne, who bought the lot in 1919 and lived there until 1951. A garage with living quarters above also contributes to the property. The house is the only Italian Renaissance Revival residence in the Westmoreland Addition, a subdivision patterned after St. Louis private places. Its rare style, careful detailing and its link to Schoeppl, a leading Houston architect trained in Paris and London, led to its recognition for architecture at the local level. It has been sensitively restored and retains a high degree of integrity.","period_of_significance":"1924","architect_builder":"Schoepll, C.B.","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Italian Renaissance Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, largely restored and well maintained; still used as a single-family dwelling, with the upstairs garage quarters occupied.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:24.077629-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/94/9722/40972294/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/94000266.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94000266/97dcd96c9c-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94000266/97dcd96c9c-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 3.0","author":"WhisperToMe","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:220Westmoreland.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">WhisperToMe</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:220Westmoreland.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"94000859","name":"Westmoreland Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/texas/westmoreland-historic-district-94000859/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40972294","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001104"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/harris-county/heyne-fred-j-house-94000266/"}
