Many L-plan dwellings were built in Waxahachie in the late nineteenth century, and this house is described as one of the city's best surviving examples of the type.","narrative":"This one-and-a-half-story frame house at 700 South Rogers in Waxahachie dates to 1893 and follows the L-plan form common in the city during the late nineteenth century. It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables, box eaves, and double-hung wood windows with one-over-one lights. A six-bay shed-roofed porch with turned wood posts wraps around the south and west sides. Decorative features include imbricated shingles in the gable ends, classical detailing combined with jig-sawn molding around the windows, cutaway corners on the projecting front wing with jig-sawn brackets under the gable, and a cross gable centered over the porch bays. An interior brick chimney is noted. The house has been moved and now sits in a residential area south of the central business district. Its significance rests on architecture: although many L-plan dwellings were built in Waxahachie and a number survive, this one is considered among the best examples. It remains in residential use and is in good condition. The architect or builder is unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"L-plan","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good, and the 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 02:54:21.472394-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/76/9689/40968976/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002344.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002344/f7a89976b1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002344/f7a89976b1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:700SouthRogers1.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:700SouthRogers1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968976","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001995"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/house-at-700-south-rogers-86002344/"}
