7531 Cayton St. – Houston TX (architect: E. Kelly Gaffney)

 

From an advertisement for the 1956 Houston Parade of Homes brochure (thanks to GlenbrookValley.com):

 

Colonial homes are still All American with a lot of Texas home-owners. And the house built by Builder J.D. Swenson at 7531 Cayton Street proudly proclaims its origins from the rooftop. Perched on the house top is a perky cupalo and, naturally, everything is colonial from there on.
