The builder is listed as C. S. Belford, and the house sits in a rural setting.","why_significant":"The inventory form gives the primary areas of significance as architecture and historical associations. It notes the house was built by Belford Lumber Co. for J. M. Paige, then sold to Thomas DeCrow in 1904 and later to H. M. Weir, who ran a 500-acre ranch until the 1960s. Its architectural features and intact interior woodwork are also noted.","narrative":"Built in 1903 on a bluff overlooking IH 35 west of Georgetown's original townsite, this two-and-a-half-story wood-frame house is a vernacular dwelling with an asymmetrical plan. Weatherboard siding, gable and hip roofs, two interior brick chimneys and wood-sash windows define its exterior. A nine-bay, two-story porch with Doric columns and a turned wooden balustrade wraps the south and east sides. Other details include imbricated shingle siding on the porch spandrel, a hexagonal turret at the southeast corner, and pent roofs on the gables. Two barns and several sheds remain on the property. Inside, original mantels, cabinetry, doors and a balustrade survive in excellent condition. Belford Lumber Co. built the house for J. M. Paige, who sold it to Thomas DeCrow in 1904. H. M. Weir later owned it and operated a 500-acre ranch there until the 1960s. Its architecture and these ownership associations are the grounds for its listing as part of Georgetown's historic resources.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"C. S.
