The Kronenberger House, located at 612 West 26th Street in Houston, Texas, stands as a historic place in Harris County. This one-story frame house was built in 1911 for Martin Kronenberger. Martin Kronenberger worked as a brewer at the Magnolia Brewery. The house exhibits Queen Anne architectural influence. It features a hipped roof with lateral and front gables, and an attached front porch that wraps to the side, supported by simple turned posts. The Kronenberger House was part of the development of the north section of The Heights between 1910 and 1915. It is recognized as a good example of a once common house type in the area. The Kronenberger House contributes to understanding the architectural styles and residential development of early 20th-century Houston.
