It is also tied to the Hutcheson family, early Arlington settlers, and to the Smith family, known for their educational interests. Few turn-of-the-century buildings survive in the city.","narrative":"Built about 1896 at 312 North Oak Street in Arlington, this one-and-a-half-story wood-frame house shows Queen Anne and Eastlake influence. It has steep intersecting gables, novelty siding, and a front porch with six turned columns, jigsaw-cut balusters and a scalloped arch. Inside, a wide central hall serves six rooms, with 12-foot ceilings, a mahogany fireplace and original cast-iron door hardware. Additions in the 1920s included dormers and an enclosed rear section. I.L. Hutcheson, a founding officer of the Johnson Station Masonic Lodge, bought the land in 1885 and sold it to his son William in 1896. S.T. Smith and his wife, Sue, bought it in 1919, and the Smith family lived there for decades. The house was recognized as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1982. It may be the only surviving Queen Anne and Eastlake house in Arlington, a city that changed rapidly after World War II.","period_of_significance":"1896","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Queen Anne and Eastlake","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in very good condition and occupied as a private residence at the time of nomination; the house sat vacant after the Smith family era until 1979.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.800325-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/25/9734/40973425/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/84001993.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001993/652a443483-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84001993/652a443483-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hutcheson-Smith_House1_(1_of_1).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Hutcheson-Smith_House1_(1_of_1).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40973425","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107319630"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/tarrant-county/hutcheson-smith-house-84001993/"}
