Maynard, W. E., House
Why it's listed
Built around 1920 at 1310 Hill Street in Bastrop, this two-and-a-half-story frame house was designed or built by W. M. Andrews. It reflects the Prairie Style, with a hipped roof, projecting hip dormers, two chimneys, and wide windows with leaded patterns that emphasize a strong horizontal line. A first-floor front porch rests on heavy Doric columns, and the front door is framed by sidelights and a transom. Walls are frame, the chimneys are brick, and the roof is composition material. The house was originally a residence and remains one, with its physical condition recorded as fair. It was listed because it is an early example of Prairie, or Park Style, architecture in Bastrop. The state evaluation rated its significance as local. The property is included within a broader Bastrop resource area covered by a multiple property documentation.
Significance in brief: The nomination describes the house as an early example of Prairie (Park Style) architecture in Bastrop. Its evaluated significance is local. It is part of a larger Bastrop resource area.

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.
