This is a one-story balloon frame residence constructed in 1902. It is located at 131 W. Carson in a residential area which was part of the original downtown plat. The photos submitted are not detailed as this home is occupied and we didn't want to intrude. The aerial photo shows the shape of the house with its additions.
The home was placed on the National Register in 2014 because of its unique survival from the early founding of Mustang. The home has had additions added to the north and south of the original. Following are excerpts from the NRHP nomination describing this house:
"The walls of the house are sheathed with wooden lap siding. The original portion of the house has drop, or novelty siding. The additions are sided with beveled siding. Corner boards complete the siding. The house has asymmetrical construction as well as fenestration pattern. The main entrance is off-set on the east elevation, gable front addition to the facade of the house. To the south of the door is a two-over-two double hung window. Both the door and the window are sheltered by a shed roof which creates an entry porch. The south elevation of the gable front addition has a Queen Anne window. The west elevation has one, two-over-two double hung window. The north elevation is concealed by a historic shed roof addition. All of the door and window surrounds are simple flat boards with simple sills and drip edges. The gable front wing and the main, original side gable portion of the house rest on a red rock stone foundation. The rear addition rests on a narrow, shallow poured concrete footing."
