The date of construction is unknown, though a house was likely on the lot by 1870.","why_significant":"The nomination calls the house particularly outstanding for its fine architectural detailing, including Second Empire doors, decorative gable ends and tall windows. It is also described as one of few, if not the only, examples of its type in Jefferson. The property is also tied to early landowners, the Alley family, and to later owners. It was recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1965.","narrative":"This small frame house at 502 Walker Street in Jefferson, Texas, also called the Old Ligon Place, is noted for its fine detailing. It has a central hall and four rooms in a rectangular plan, though the roof is framed as if a central block met two end pavilions. The steep gable ends have festooned bargeboards and a round window with elaborate molding. The entrance has a pair of finely carved Second Empire doors, with a transom and full-height sidelights, beneath a flat-roofed portico on paired square wooden columns. Tall, narrow four-over-four windows run from floor to ceiling. Its construction date is unknown. The Alley family, who owned about half the land in Jefferson, first held the property and passed it to their daughter Victoria and her husband, Judge M. L. Crawford. They sold it in 1870 to Dr. Samson Eagon, who probably added to an existing house. It was recognized as a Texas Historic Landmark in 1965 and later listed for its architecture.","period_of_significance":"19th Century","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Second Empire detailing (pair of carved Second Empire doors) on a small frame residence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as good and largely unaltered apart from removed grille work and chimneys; occupied as a private residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:18.591209-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/98/9728/40972898/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/71000953.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"71000949","name":"Jefferson Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/texas/jefferson-historic-district-71000949/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40972898","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002272"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/marion-county/woods-perry-m-house-71000953/"}
