M. Rice.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the house as both an architectural and historical landmark. It is one of few Colonial Revival homes in Lubbock and sits on Broadway, the city's principal early twentieth-century residential street. It was built for Warren A. Bacon, a businessman, real estate promoter and civic leader, and his wife Myrta Hunt Bacon, daughter of a South Plains colonist.","narrative":"Built in 1916 at 1802 Broadway in Lubbock, this two-story brick house was designed by Amarillo architect W. M. Rice for Warren A. and Myrta Hunt Bacon. Its hipped roof of green glazed mission tile, broad eaves and colossal Tuscan-columned porticos on the south and east faces make it an unusual example of Colonial Revival design in the city. It stands in the Overton Addition, Lubbock's first residential addition, along what was then the main residential street. Warren Bacon came to the South Plains in 1893 and became a landowner, irrigation pioneer, lumber and grocery company officer, bank organizer and civic leader. Myrta Bacon's father, George M. Hunt, settled in the Quaker colony of Estacado in 1884. The Bacon family owned the house for more than 65 years, then leased it to a fraternity until 1981. The Episcopal Diocese of Northwest Texas then acquired it for offices, and the house remains largely unaltered.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"W. M.
