Assn. 1037--Homeless Neighborhood Assn.  Committee)  The house does not maintain its historic appearance, although there is a possibility the stucco could be removed and some of the original house could be intact underneath. However, the windows have all been replaced sO reproduction windows would be necessary for a restoration of this house. In its present state, it is not considered to be a contributing property to the Hyde Park National Register Historic The Hyde Park Neighborhood Association has been diligent in researching the property and has found several photographs from the early part of the century. These photographs demonstrate the house was handsome in its prime; however, many unsympathetic changes have been made. Evidence oft the extent of existing deficiencies demonstrates the deterioration oft the house from what: it once was. Dewey Bradford and his family were of some historical importance and contributed to the history of the city; therefore, the property meets the criteria of "historical association." This statement would have to be combined with significance in architecture, archeology, cultural value or extraordinary landscape feature in order to meet the test for landmark status using the City Council-approved criteria. The building appears to have been built as a two story house with a two-story porch wrapping around the front and south side. Full-length columns embellish the façade, with jalousie windows arranged two on each side and six above the simply pedimented door. The house is capped by a hipped roof with dormers on the north and south sides. A two-story addition is set at an unusual diagonal angle off the back with a style reminiscent of the 1940s, including metal-frame windows and a rooftop with an open metal railing. It is difficult to assess exactly when these changes were made - the 1922, 1935 and 1962 Sanborn maps all show the structure with the two  District.  Architecture:  story wrap-around porch but without the angled addition.  Historical Associations:  The first known owner of the house was William A. Stewart, Real Estate, as evidenced by the listing in the 1909-1910 city directory. By 1912-13, the house was occupied by the Bradford family, who lived here for over 30 years. Clyde A. Bradford formed and become the president of Bradford-Dorflinger Company (later, the C.A. Bradford Company), which sold paints, oils, varnishes, and wall papers at 705  Congress Avenue.    Dewey C Bradford was born in 1896 in Round Rock, was a former heavyweight boxer, a chariot driver, a football player for the U.T. Longhorns and served in the U.S. Marines during World WarI. As a youth, he was interested in acting and spent time in Hollywood before returning to assume duties in the family business. He was also a patron of the arts, having introduced Porfirio Salinas, Charles Berkeley Normann and G. Harvey Jones to the art world. He assisted President Lyndon Baines Johnson and Lady Bird in selecting paintings for the White House. The Country Arts Store  Gallery, located at 1304Lavaca, was one of his businesses.

CONDITION: Fair PRESENTOWNER: Helen Nohra Sylvia Dudney, Trustee 4211 Avenue G Austin, TX 78751-3815 DATE BUILT: ca. 1909  ALVBRATIONSADDITIONS: Several additions; the style of the house suggests that it does not appear as the house did in 1909. In addition, the house has been covered in stucco, the windows are not original, and the gable on the south has been removed. The second story porch has been enclosed and is shown as a wrap"around porch by the Sanborn maps rather than a side porch. An odd diagonal addition appears to  have been added in the 1940s.
