Dillon, with E. S. Boze listed as contractor.","why_significant":"The inventory form argues the house is significant for its architecture. Its original fabric and form remain intact, making it one of the best local examples of early twentieth-century popular architecture.","narrative":"Located at 123 East University in Waxahachie, this one-story frame house was built in 1907 by George C. Dillon, with E. S. Boze recorded as contractor. It sits in a residential area northwest of the central business district and south of the old Trinity University campus. The house has wood siding, a hip roof with composition shingles, wood double-hung windows with one-over-one lights, and a single-door primary entrance. A one-bay porch on the east elevation has Ionic columns, and a hipped roof dormer breaks the roofline of the facade. It was listed for its architecture: because its original fabric and form remain intact, it is considered one of the best local examples of early twentieth-century popular architecture. Dillon sold it some years after construction. J. T. Williams, a realtor, owned it until 1925, when he sold it to E. F. Gough. The house remains in good condition and residential use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Contractor E. S.
