House at 907 Pine

Built around 1895, this one-story wood-frame house at 907 Pine in Georgetown, Texas, follows a modified L plan with an integral rear ell. It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with composition shingles, and wood double-hung windows with four-over-four lights. A shed-roofed porch wraps the south and west sides on box supports, with posts and simple jigsawn brackets. A semicircular bay with a conical roof projects from the northwest corner, and imbricated shingle siding adds texture. The south end has angled corners and windows, and the main entrance has carved wood detailing and an etched-glass light. The house was listed for its architecture. It is considered an excellent example of an L-plan house with a rounded front-bay projection, a type that was common in Georgetown in the late nineteenth century but is now rare. It stands among mostly turn-of-the-century dwellings east of downtown, remains in residential use, and is in good condition.
