Brannon, S. L., House

Located at 1301 Main Street in Bastrop, Texas, this wood frame house dates to about 1915 and reflects Victorian styling carried into the twentieth century. It rises one and a half stories and has projecting bays at the northwest and southeast corners. Between the bays, an inset L-shaped gallery rests on square columns, and three entries open onto the porch. The roof is truncated and has hipped dormers, and the roofing is composition. The house was the residence of S. L. Brannon, a local businessman who worked as a pharmacist. It is described as a modest example of a Victorian house built in the twentieth century, and its association with a Bastrop business figure adds to its local interest. A survey recorded the property as in good condition, still used as a residence, as it was originally. A local newspaper article on Brannon is cited as a source. The state evaluated its significance as local.
