It has been moved from its original site. The house has a gable roof with composition shingles, wood double-hung windows, and a single-door entrance with sidelights. An L-shaped porch wraps around the south and west sides, supported by brick piers on the first level and square wood piers on the second, with squared wood balusters. A pedimented dormer breaks the roofline and emphasizes the center bay, and a first-story pent roof is covered with imbricated shingles. The house was recognized as one of the city's best examples of an early twentieth-century dwelling that blends common local building forms with Neoclassical Revival massing, symmetrical organization and detailing. Pat Witten owned the property from at least 1918 until the late 1940s. The architect and builder are unknown. It remains in residential use and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Neoclassical Revival massing and details combined with common local forms","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good; 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 02:54:20.959014-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/2/9689/40968902/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002349.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002349/c302b9a1d6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002349/c302b9a1d6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pat_Witten_House.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:Pat_Witten_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968902","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001966"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/witten-pat-house-86002349/"}
