Trout and his wife Katherine.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the finest and least altered examples of Queen Anne residential architecture in northeastern Texas. It shows Victorian design on a scale rarely seen in a town of about 1,900 people. It also recalls Honey Grove's prosperous era of the 1890s and is described as the best-preserved Victorian house in this part of Fannin County.","narrative":"Built in 1895-96 at 705 Poplar Street in Honey Grove, Texas, this two-and-a-half-story house was commissioned by Thomas W. Trout, a farmer, cattleman and grocery wholesaler, and his wife Katherine. It is a Queen Anne residence with Colonial Revival detailing, marked by an irregular plan, a pedimented attic gable, a circular tower with a domed turret, and a wraparound veranda skirted in pressed tin that imitates rusticated stone. Inside, the oak woodwork keeps its original unpainted finish, including a delicate bead-and-spindle ceiling in the entry hall, two staircases said by family tradition to be imported from France, and two large Tiffany-style stained glass windows at the stair landing. Honey Grove was a prosperous farming and trade center in the 1890s, with banks, newspapers, hotels and railroads. The nomination holds the house to be among the finest and least altered Queen Anne homes in northeastern Texas, with only early rear additions and a modern kitchen remodel.","period_of_significance":"1895-96","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne with Colonial Revival decorative elements","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as occupied private residence in good condition, altered only slightly; the kitchen was recently remodeled and the roof, except the metal dome, is recent asphalt shingle.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.112616-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/20/9719/40971920/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/84001664.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001664/582dacb23b-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001664/582dacb23b-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TroutHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:TroutHouse.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40971920","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321928"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/fannin-county/trout-thomas-and-katherine-house-84001664/"}
