Its form reflects Victorian origins, while later simplified details, Colonial Revival features and a few Prairie style elements mark the Free Classic Queen Anne. It was also occupied by two prominent Cleburne families, reflecting the changing tastes of the town's elite. It is significant at the local level under Criterion C.","narrative":"Built in 1895 as a one-story dwelling and enlarged to two stories around 1910, this house on Prairie Avenue in Cleburne, Texas, shows how domestic architecture shifted at the turn of the 20th century. Wood-frame walls clad in cypress clapboard rise beneath hipped roofs with wide eaves. A wrap-around porch with Tuscan columns on a patterned brick rail and a shingled second-story belvedere dominate the front. Inside, high ceilings, oak and pine mantels, pocket doors and original hardware survive. The design keeps the asymmetry of the Victorian Queen Anne style, while cleaner lines and classical columns point to Colonial Revival influence, and diamond-patterned windows and deep eaves hint at the Prairie style. Two prominent Cleburne families lived here, including banker Joseph B. Long, who bought it in 1912. Its listing rests on architectural significance at the local level, supported by a high degree of integrity and by restoration work that matched historic materials.","period_of_significance":"c. 1910","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late Victorian: Queen Anne (Free Classic)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Currently in use as a single-family house; substantial repairs and restoration have been carried out since 1998, and a windmill and water tank were added as replacements for lost structures.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:24.163307-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/20/9727/40972720/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/03000558.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000558/83f27575fe-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/03000558/83f27575fe-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Joiner-Long_House_(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:Joiner-Long_House_(1_of_1).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40972720","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107320518"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/johnson-county/joiner-long-house-03000558/"}
