Milroy House - Houston, Texas - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

This home was built in 1898 for John Milroy, General Agent of the Houston Heights office of the Omaha and South Texas Land Company, the developers of Houston Heights. John Milroy later served eight terms as Houston Height’s mayor.

The house is a Queen Anne Victorian, wood frame, two-and-a-half stories with a wrap-around porch. It is typical of the prominent homes built along Heights Boulevard at the turn of the century. Fish scale trim decorating the awnings and gables seems to be a very common trait of the Queen Anne Victorians built in this neighborhood.
