Summary
STORED ON SITE. mchr
Significance: 4th Ward Cottage is a pure example of Cajun/Gulf Coast cottage, a building type that originated in South Louisiana as early as 1710. The cottage is the last remaining example of this building type in Houston, and is among the few remaining "working man's" homes of Houston's 4th Ward. The cottage's side-facing gables, inset porch, and random width clapboards suggest that it is one of the oldest surviving houses from Houston's 4th Ward.
