From the nomination form on file at the Texas Historical Commission: (visit link)

The Bremond District represents a Victorian neighborhood of the middle to late nineteenth century. The individual homes have been preserved intact in almost unaltered form, and individual programs of restoration have been carried out with a sympathetic eye to the traditions and style of the neighborhood Thus, the District is valuable both as an indication of architectural tastes of the last century, and as a mirror on the society which was responsible for its creation."

In the ivy-landscaped front yard, the old Bremond family carriage block sits under a tree.
