It reflects the town's growth and community development after the railroad arrived in 1885. It also shows Queen Anne and Craftsman detailing, with compatible additions made about 1910 and 1950.","narrative":"Built in 1895 at 310 East Broad Street in Mansfield, Texas, this one-story wood house began as a three-room L-plan dwelling. Andrew \"Cap\" Bratton, a local furniture maker and undertaker, likely built it for himself and his second wife, Emma Doughty Bratton. About 1910 a Craftsman-style porch with brick piers and square columns and a three-room rear addition were added. A sleeping porch was enclosed and enlarged about 1950. The front facade keeps a Queen Anne cutaway bay window with decorative pendants. The house is considered a good local example of the L-plan form and one of few in Mansfield to retain its integrity. It reflects the growth that followed the arrival of railroad service in 1885, when Mansfield was a farm trade center. The Bratton family occupied it for decades, and it stayed in the family until 1956. It was recognized for its role in the community's development between 1895 and 1950.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1895-1950","architect_builder":"Bratton, Andrew \"Cap\" (builder/owner)","architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne; Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Bungalow/Craftsman","criteria":["A"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition with a high degree of exterior integrity; currently used as a single dwelling, after conversion to retail and office use in the 1980s.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:23.886478-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/7/9700/40970007/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/03000432.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000432/269a38d9c7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000432/269a38d9c7-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AndrewBrattonHouse1_(1_of_1).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AndrewBrattonHouse1_(1_of_1).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970007","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002293"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/tarrant-county/bratton-andrew-cap-and-emma-doughty-house-03000432/"}
