It has been moved from its original site and now sits in a residential area south of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the city's best and most intact examples of an L-plan dwelling, a vernacular house type built in great numbers in Waxahachie in the late nineteenth century. The reviewer found it architecturally important in the local context and noted its high degree of integrity.","narrative":"Built around 1895, this one-story frame house at 803 Cantrell in Waxahachie follows the L-plan form, a vernacular house type that was built in great numbers in the city during the late nineteenth century. It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables and box eaves, and wood double-hung windows with two-over-two lights. A three-bay porch with turned wood posts and jig-sawn brackets sits within the front-projecting wing, and the single-door main entrance has a transom. An integral rear ell with a hipped roof is an unusual feature of an otherwise traditional form. Classical detailing surrounds the doors and windows, and intricate jig-sawn work on the bargeboard and porch frieze draws on natural motifs. The house has been moved and is in fair condition, still in residential use. It was listed because it is considered one of the city's best and most intact examples of its type, with a high degree of integrity that makes it architecturally important locally.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"L-plan","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition listed as fair; 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 02:54:20.933314-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/78/9689/40968978/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002353.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002353/5597a742cd-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002353/5597a742cd-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_803_Cantrell.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:House_at_803_Cantrell.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968978","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001991"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/house-at-803-cantrell-86002353/"}
