W.B. Allen and built in 1902 for physician Dr. W.D. Northcutt.","why_significant":"The nomination presents it as one of the few remaining Victorian buildings in Longview and a large, elaborate Queen Anne residence. It is also tied to Dr. Northcutt, a locally prominent physician who served four terms as mayor and held several other public offices. The house was built largely of East Texas curly pine and has had no major alterations since 1902.","narrative":"Dr. W.D. Northcutt, a Longview physician, had this large frame house built at 313 South Fredonia Street in 1902 to a design by Rev. W.B. Allen. Its heart pine lumber was milled in nearby Tyler. The house shows Queen Anne features: an irregular plan, a round corner turret with a conical roof, many intersecting gables, tin cresting, varied shingle patterns and a two-story double gallery with Doric columns. Inside are six rooms on each floor, a carved stairway of East Texas curly pine, hand-carved mantels shipped from Virginia, and a bathroom said to be the first indoor bathroom in Longview. Northcutt practiced medicine for 45 years, served four terms as mayor, and sat on the school board and city council. His family lived here until after his death in 1931. Listed for its architecture and its link to a prominent local figure, the house survives as one of the few Victorian buildings left in the city.","period_of_significance":"1900- (specific date 1902)","architect_builder":"W.B.
