The house was framed in 1906 by architect Henry Conrad Mauer for the Averill family.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is characteristic of the Classic Revival mansions built by Texas millionaires around the turn of the century. Its massiveness, colossal portico over a one-story wrap-around gallery, and concentrated entrance detailing are typical of the period in the state. It was also built for, and completed by, one of Texas' oldest and wealthiest families.","narrative":"This frame mansion at 1906 McFaddin in Beaumont, together with its carriage house and stable, represents Classic Revival architecture as built by wealthy Texans around 1900. The house is two stories plus attic, square in plan, with a hipped roof, dormers, and a one-story wrap-around gallery with Ionic columns. A two-story portico with paired colossal Ionic columns rises above it. Architect Henry Conrad Mauer built the structure in 1906 for the Averill family after the earlier family home burned in 1905. The Averills could not finish it, so Mrs. Averill's brother, William Perry H. McFaddin, a cattle, oil, land and railroad businessman, bought and completed it. The McFaddins added a conservatory, enlarged the service room and installed steam heat. Later family members replaced plumbing, added air-conditioning and modernized the kitchen. Of the many original outbuildings, only the carriage house and stable remain, as the surrounding homestead was subdivided into residential lots.","period_of_significance":"1906","architect_builder":"Henry Conrad Mauer (architect and builder)","architectural_style":"Classic Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as in excellent condition, unaltered, on its original site, and occupied as a private residence; still owned by the McFaddin family at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.782899-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/76/9726/40972676/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/71000942.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40972676","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000057"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/jefferson-county/mcfaddin-house-complex-71000942/"}
