Saigling House - Plano, TX - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Saigling House is located at 902 East 16th Street, at the southern end of the Haggard Park residential neighborhood, just two blocks northwest of downtown in Plano, Collin County, Texas. Built in 1918 by Celestine Saigling, the home was designed by notable Dallas architecture firm Lang and Witchell, and built by Dallas contractor H. Kreamer. The large, two-story house with side gabled-roof and one-story L-shaped brick porch was the first brick veneer residence in Plano, and it is said to have been the first designed with a basement and central heating. Embodying many of the defining stylistic elements, it serves as an excellent local example of the Side-Gabled Roof subtype of Craftsman style architecture. The home features a full width porch with low pitched roof supported by large square columns, wide roof overhangs with unenclosed eaves, exposed rafter tails and false beams, and double-hung windows with single pane bottom sashes and multiple pane top sashes. The Saigling property also includes a non-contributing concrete deck at the rear (south) of the house, a non-contributing restroom building at the eastern edge of the property, and a non-contributing storage building at the southern edge of the property, all added as part of the recent renovation."
