House at 1325 South David
,_San_Angelo,_TX.jpg){kind=link}
Why it's listed
Built before 1910 in San Angelo's Park Heights Addition, this small one-story frame house at 1325 South David is a modest example of local vernacular building. It has a steeply pitched roof, cross gables and an L-shaped porch. The front-facing gable has chamfered walls, cornice returns and a rectangular window, while slender, widely spaced Tuscan columns support the porch. The entry has a single glazed door. The architect or builder is unknown. The house sits in a residential area on less than one acre and remains on its original site. Its listing rests on architecture at the local level: it is described as one of the best surviving examples of the small frame vernacular houses that were once common in the city. It is generally unaltered, in good condition and well maintained. A reviewer judged it a significant local example of the area's vernacular housing stock, though the justification was described as only marginal.
Significance in brief: The inventory describes it as one of the best examples of the small frame vernacular houses once common in San Angelo. It is generally unaltered and well maintained. A federal reviewer recommended acceptance under Criterion C but noted the justification of significance was only marginal.

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.
