7547 Cayton St. – Houston TX (architect: L.B. Wootters)

 

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

 

A house which has combined the casual with the formal to a remarkably successful degree is the Irwin Nelms Old English at 7547 Cayton. This is no easy job, but architect L.B. Wootters has brought it off and viewers will sense it as soon as they complete their inspections. Old English may imply a certain amount of austerity, but this style has been considerably lightened – and the house is flexible enough for the easiest sort of take-it-easy party, or a more rigid take-it-big affair.
