The L-plan reflects the picturesque form favored by late nineteenth-century builders. The two-story Doric porch columns, added in early twentieth-century remodeling, show Neoclassical Revival influence.","narrative":"Built around 1895, this two-story frame house at 418 North College in Waxahachie combines late Victorian design with an early twentieth-century Neoclassical Revival update. It follows an L-plan, a form built in large numbers in the city and favored by late nineteenth-century builders for its picturesque look. The walls are weatherboard under a gable roof, with tall, narrow two-over-two windows, a window bay, jigsawn cornice brackets, bargeboard and corbeled brick chimneys. A four-bay porch on the west elevation rests on brick piers and has turned wood balusters. Giant Doric columns rising two stories date from the early twentieth-century remodeling. Reviewers judged the house locally significant for architecture, describing it as one of the finest late nineteenth-century Victorian residences in Waxahachie. The inventory records it as moved to its present spot in a mostly residential area north of the central business district, in good condition and still used as a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"L-plan with Neoclassical Revival addition; late Victorian","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition listed as good; present use residential.
