Named for its original owner, the two-story Kraigher House is considered a treasure of modern architecture. Designed by Richard Neutra in 1937, it was the first International Style house built in Texas and one of the few projects the influential Neutra did outside California.
Termites and water penetration have scarred it. So have vagrants, and a chain link fence now keeps them out.
The city of Brownsville bought the house in 1999 with hopes of one day restoring it. Momentum for that idea grew in February, when Preservation Texas put the Kraigher House on its list of the state's most endangered historic places.
This week, the National Trust for Historic Preservation deemed it among the 11 most endangered in the country.
