Clayton House
Why it's listed
Built between about 1910 and 1913 in San Angelo's Park Heights Addition, this two-story frame house follows the Foursquare form with Colonial Revival detailing. It has a symmetrical front, a hipped wood shingle roof and a full-width porch with paired columns on brick piers, a small gable marking the entry, and no balustrade. A hipped dormer sits on each side, and the main entry is a glazed door with sidelights. Windows are one-over-one on the ground floor, with unusual eight-over-one windows upstairs. The first owner was Dr. A.W. Clayton. The house sits on a large lot in a residential area and remains in good condition, with a brick porch floor as its only noted alteration. It was listed for its architectural value at the local level, as a well-kept example of upper-scale, middle-class housing built before World War I. Its architect and builder are unknown.
Significance in brief: The nomination presents it as a very well maintained, classic example of the Foursquare house type in the fashionable Park Heights Addition. It is described as a good example of upper-scale, middle-class housing built before World War I. The reviewer recommended acceptance for its architectural significance under Criterion C.

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.
