It is also tied to Frederick Lyons, who served on the first city council after incorporation in 1916 and helped shape the town's early development. It reflects the growth that followed the railroad's arrival in 1912.","narrative":"Built in 1912-1913 on Live Oak Street in Pleasanton, Texas, this single-story frame house is a modified L-plan, a type that enlarged the basic pyramidal cottage with projecting gabled wings. It has a pyramidal metal roof, a wrap-around wooden porch with Doric capitals, and modest detailing. Only four houses of this type remain in the town, and this one keeps nearly all its original windows, doors and siding. Rancher Frederick Lyons built it as his family moved to town during the boom that followed the railroad's arrival in 1912. He later served on Pleasanton's first city council in 1916, when water, fire protection and other basic services were established. The house stayed in the Lyons family for decades. Early-1970s alterations and years of neglect left it slated for demolition, but a 1998-1999 restoration using federal rehabilitation tax credits removed the later additions and returned its historic appearance.","period_of_significance":"1912-1936","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Other: Modified L-Plan","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling.
