Page-Gilbert House, Victorian residence in Hyde Park district, Austin, United States.
The Page–Gilbert House is a late 19th-century home at 3913 Avenue G in Austin's Hyde Park Historic District. It has a muted Victorian style with Queen Anne accents, including a pyramidal steeple roof. It stands across from the Frank M. and Annie G. Covert House.
The house was built in the late 1800s by Christopher H. Page, a British stonemason who had previously worked on the construction of the Texas State Capitol. His experience on the Capitol project shaped his understanding of craftsmanship and design when building this residence.
The house stands in Hyde Park, a subdivision laid out by Monroe M. Shipe, the founder of the neighbourhood. Its muted Victorian form with Queen Anne accents, including a pyramidal steeple roof, shows the European-derived styles favoured in Austin's late-19th-century residential streets. The house is also listed within the Shadow Lawn Historic District, a smaller subdivision inside Hyde Park.
The house is located on Avenue G in the Hyde Park neighborhood and is accessible by foot in this historic residential area. Visitors should know it is a private residence and can only be viewed from the outside.
The house stands at 3913 Avenue G, directly across from the Frank M. and Annie G. Covert House, another listed historic home. It joined the National Register of Historic Places in 1990, the same year its Hyde Park setting was recognised for its late-19th-century residential architecture.
