University in Georgetown, this one-and-a-half-story wood-frame house follows a Georgian plan and was constructed by the Belford Lumber Co. for A.S. Pegues, an English professor at Southwestern University. It sits in a mostly residential area southeast of the central business district, across the street from the university campus. The house has beveled wood siding, a hip roof with dormers and gables, box eaves with brackets, and an interior brick chimney with a corbeled cap. A three-bay porch inset across the north front has Ionic columns and a wooden slat balustrade, and the symmetrical facade shows minor Neoclassical Revival influence. Picture windows beside the entry have diamond-pattern transoms and sidelights. The house was recognized mainly for its architecture, as a good example of an early twentieth-century dwelling with some classical detailing. It is described as being in good condition, though the original entry has been changed. It remains in residential use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Belford Lumber Co.","architectural_style":"Residential, Georgian plan with minor Neoclassical Revival influence","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition listed as good; altered, with the original entry changed.
