It is the only one with external end chimneys and a formal central hall. Its two-story pavilion in place of a full front porch makes it a unique example of its type.","narrative":"Built in 1889 on the southwest edge of Cedar Hill, this two-story wood-frame house was the home of William Bryant, Jr., and his wife Sarah Louisa McCan. It is finished in cypress lap siding with molded edges and corner boards topped with pilasters. The main block is a three-room \"I\" house with a broad stair in the hall, plus a two-story ell wing. Unlike most \"I\" houses, it has a two-story front portico under a steep gable with fish-scale shingles, bargeboard, chamfered posts and latticework railing. Bryant, whose father had built up large farmland holdings in southwestern Dallas County, was a successful cattle rancher and owned a commercial building on the town square. The house is considered significant as the last of two unaltered \"I\" houses in Dallas County, and the only one with external end chimneys and a formal central hall. Its pavilion in place of a full porch makes it a unique example of the type.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian","criteria":[],"status_note":"The form mentions recent refurbishing, with the historic gable bargeboard to be copied and replaced.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.889292-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/98/9686/40968698/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/85000711.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85000711/5446b6718e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/85000711/5446b6718e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WilliamBryant2.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:WilliamBryant2.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968698","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001824"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dallas-county/bryant-william-jr-house-85000711/"}
