Ferguson in Stamford, Jones County, Texas, built before 1908 and probably in 1905, near the town square.","why_significant":"The house is a good, unaltered example of the inexpensive housing built in Stamford in its first years. Most early working-class housing in town has been demolished or heavily modified, but this house keeps its original windows, siding, plan and trim. It is significant at the local level for its architecture.","narrative":"This small wood-frame house at 305 S. Ferguson in Stamford, Texas, is among the town's earliest surviving residences. It was built before 1908, probably in 1905, according to the daughter of the original owner. The house follows a U-shaped plan, with a shed porch joining two gables, and has a shed-roofed rear addition and an interior chimney along the main ridge. Multiple entrances and many long windows provided ventilation before air conditioning. It sits in an older residential and commercial neighborhood near the town square. The house was recognized for its architecture at the local level. Most of Stamford's early working-class housing has been demolished or altered with stucco, asbestos-tile siding and removal of trim. This house remains intact, including its original windows, siding, plan and trim, which is highly unusual. It serves as a reminder of the typical early Stamford house, a type disappearing from the local scene.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in good, unaltered condition; located in an older residential/commercial neighborhood.","vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.195863-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/24/9697/40969724/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002366.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969724","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001246"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/jones-county/jackson-a-j-house-86002366/"}
