Hubbard-Trigg House
Why it's listed
This house at 1508 Pecan Street in Bastrop, Texas, is a 1½-story, L-shaped wood-frame Victorian residence with a composition roof and a full-length, L-shaped porch. Robert W. Hubbard moved to Bastrop from nearby Hill's Prairie in 1890 and built the home himself. Later, K.M. Trigg, who married Hubbard's daughter, made changes to the original house, and the building was altered substantially around 1910. Those changes added neo-Classical Revival details to the Victorian structure, and it is described as a good example of that blend of styles. It has remained a residence since it was built and is recorded in excellent condition. Minor later changes include a glassed-in rear porch and glass doors in a bedroom. The property is evaluated as significant at the local level, and it is known by both the Hubbard and Trigg family names.

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.
