Johnson, C. E., House
a.k.a. Site #9
1022 E. 7th St., Austin, TXThe Johnson House is an extraordinarily complete and unaltered example of a late Victorian T-plan house. The rear porch, which is still open, is unaltered from its original configuration, while few, if any, carpentry details are missing from the exterior of the structure. The building is also significant because of its scale. Located on the corner of two major streets, the Johnson House responds to its situation visually, being one of the largest, most generous examples of a T-plan in Austin.
Local significance of the building:Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
