Clanton, Moses A., House
1025 Arlington, Houston, TXThe Moses A. Clanton House is a good example of Queen Anne influence on a small, working man's cottage built around the turn of the century. Houston Heights has several similar dwellings, but the simplicity of this residence is its primary attraction. Moses Clanton, an air brake operator for the Houston & Central railroad, had this home constructed and a subsequent owner was responsible for the 1914 addition.
