H. Draughn. It is known locally as the \"Ace of Clubs\" House.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house has an unusual plan, an octagonal rotunda with three octagonal bays and a rectangular wing, which it calls one of the most unique Victorian designs in Texas. It is also described as the lone survivor of 19th-century residential architecture near downtown Texarkana. It is further tied to Draughn, an early mayor and bank president, and to the Moore family, who were prominent local attorneys and civic leaders.","narrative":"Set on a wooded, walled quarter block two blocks from downtown Texarkana, this raised two-story brick house was built in 1883-84 for J. H. Draughn, an early settler, lumber and dry goods merchant, short-term mayor and bank president. Its plan is unusual: a two-story octagonal rotunda lit by a cupola, surrounded by three octagonal rooms and a rectangular wing. Locals call it the \"Ace of Clubs\" House because the layout resembles a club's leaves and stem. Exterior details are Italianate, including scored stucco imitating stone, bracketed eaves and pedimented window hoods. The Moore family, led by attorney Henry Moore, Sr., acquired it in 1894, and wings and a brick gallery were added in the 1920s. It was listed as the lone surviving 19th-century residence near downtown Texarkana and as one of the few octagonal-mode houses in Texas. The original architect is unknown.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":"Unknown (architect); built for J. H.
