The House at 1421 Heights Boulevard in Houston, Texas, is a historic place located in Harris County. This two-story wood frame residence was built between 1908 and 1909. It is designed in the Colonial Revival architectural style. The house features a two-story classical portico, supported by large, fluted Doric columns. An attached first-floor porch extends across the front of the house, which also has a hipped roof. The property was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 22, 1983. It is situated within the Houston Heights area, an early planned community developed in 1891. Houston Heights operated as an independent municipality from 1896 until its annexation by the City of Houston in 1918. In 1998, the Houston Archaeological and Historical Commission recommended the house for local landmark designation. While the house is recognized for its architectural significance, specific historical marker text for the property is not available. This house provides an example of early 20th-century residential architecture within the historic Houston Heights community.
