House at 1301 Hill
Why it's listed
This one-story frame house at 1301 Hill Street in Bastrop dates to about 1910 and reflects late Victorian residential design. It has a hipped roof covered in tin and a projecting bay topped by a pediment, which contains a half-circle vent and wood shingles. The front portico shelters an entrance with sidelights and a transom, and it is supported by Doric columns and finished with a simple balustrade. Lean-to additions have been made at the rear, but the house is recorded in good physical condition. It continues to serve as a residence, the same purpose for which it was built. The property was recorded during a 1976 survey of Bastrop and was judged significant at the local level, mainly as a good surviving example of a late Victorian home in the community. No architect or builder is identified in the record.
Significance in brief: The nomination describes it as a good example of a late Victorian home in Bastrop. It is evaluated as locally significant.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
