Why it's listed
Built in 1928 in Lubbock's Ellwood Addition, this red brick house at 2701 19th Street faces 19th Street and an entrance to Texas Tech University. Architect Sylvan B. Haynes designed it for Fred and Annie Snyder, a ranching family who had worked land near Colorado City, Pecos and Dalhart and leased part of the Slaughter Ranch. The two-and-a-half-story house follows a Palladian scheme modeled after Mount Vernon, with a symmetrical five-bay main block, a two-story portico of fluted metal columns, a fanlighted front door, pedimented dormers and a slate roof. One-story wings hold a sunroom and a porte cochere. A 1945 addition at the rear serves as a den. Inside, a Georgian plan places rooms along a central hall, with refined woodwork. The house reflects the boomtown growth Lubbock saw in the 1920s and remains an excellent, intact example of Colonial Revival architecture in the city.
Significance in brief: The house is nominated under Criterion C in the area of Architecture as a fine local example of Colonial Revival design. It follows a Palladian scheme modeled after Mount Vernon, with a central block and connected pavilion-like dependencies. It also reflects Lubbock's 1920s growth and prosperity and the work of prominent local architect Sylvan B. Haynes.

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.
