It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables, two brick chimneys with corbeled caps, and a one-story porch on the west front. A third-floor tower with a pyramidal roof rises above the entry bay. A bay on the north side is five-sided on the ground floor and semicircular above, with imbricated shingles and art-glass windows. Turned-wood bargeboards decorate the gable ends. A two-story garage apartment stands on the east side of the lot. The house was the home of John Leavell, a wealthy late nineteenth-century entrepreneur who ran a mercantile store on the town square. It was listed for its architecture and for this association. Its prominent corner location and large scale also make it a landmark in the neighborhood east of downtown. Its architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"Condition listed as fair, with work in progress; present use is residential.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.566781-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/13/9708/40970813/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86000979.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000979/2d0aed6d0a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86000979/2d0aed6d0a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY 4.0","author":"Larry D.
