College in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas, built about 1880. It is a single dwelling in a largely residential area.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it the most intact and best local example of the I-house form, which is uncommon in Georgetown. It illustrates the westward spread of this traditional building form from the Midwest in the late 19th century. It was listed under Criterion C in architecture at the local level.","narrative":"Built around 1880, this two-story wood frame house at 1019 S. College in Georgetown, Texas, is a center-hall I-house with a gable roof of asphalt shingles. It has 4/4 wooden sash windows, a wooden front door with sidelights, a one-story hipped-roof porch on square wooden columns, and an exterior limestone chimney on the north side. The porch replaced an earlier shed-roof porch with turned columns around 1920, and the slatted shutters are replacements for original louvered ones. The I-house is one room deep and two stories tall, so it looks like a capital I from the side. The form was first noted in the Midwest and is rare in Georgetown. The house was recognized as the most intact local example, showing how traditional building forms moved west in the late 19th century. The Hewitt family lived there from about 1890 to 1946; M. S. Hewitt worked as a blacksmith and carriage painter. Despite the alterations, the house retains a high degree of integrity.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1880","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Vernacular I-house","criteria":["C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:24.064724-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/35/9708/40970835/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/96000071.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970835","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002607"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/williamson-county/hewitt-m-s-house-96000071/"}
