Quadrangle: Austin East, Texas, 1:24,000, 1966 Photorevised 1973 Current Use: Residential UTM Reference: 14/622120/3347820 Architectural Description: Physical Condition: Excellent Date(s) of Alterations: Small addition to rear, ca. 1950s; second rear addition removed between 1980 and 1984 The Martin House is a T-plan, one-story, late Victorian, wood-frame cottage with steeply pitched roof. A portion of the house has been enclosed and the original plan is slightly obscured. However, almost all other details are intact and clearly visible; the house rests on brick piers and features the same type of drop siding and two-over-two double-hung windows as those at Site No. 1, 1202 Garden Street. The front porch is intact and has its original turned columns. Simple hooded windows occur at each elevation, and the eave of each gable features fish-scale shingles and a small, rectangular window. Rake returns occur at the gables and a finely detailed brick chimney flue is located at the ridge. Significance: Period: 1800-1899, 1900- Areas of Significance: Architecture The Martin House is significant because i t is an excellent, almost completely unaltered example of a common vernacular house form: the T plan. As with the shotgun at 1206 Canterbury (Site No. 2), the Martin House apparently was constructed for use as rental property. Unusual care seems to have been exercised in its building, as evidenced by its excellent condition and profusion of pleasing and ornate detailing.
