The form notes the house was moved to its present residential area south of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of the few intact local examples of the L-plan, the most common regional plan type. Although many L-plan houses were built in Ennis through the 1910s, most local examples have been destroyed or considerably altered.","narrative":"Built around 1895, this one-story frame house at 806 South Dallas in Ennis follows the L-plan, a form common across the region. It has weatherboard siding, a gabled roof covered with wood shingles, and wood double-hung windows with two-over-two lights. A hip-roofed porch with two bays sits within the front-projecting wing, supported by turned wood posts and decorated with jig-sawn brackets. Imbricated shingles fill the gable end. The simple massing is typical of traditional L-plan houses, with ornament concentrated in the porch and gable. The house was listed because it is one of the few intact local versions of this plan type. L-plan houses were built in great number and variety in Ennis until about the 1910s, but most local examples have since been destroyed or heavily altered. The form records that the house was moved to its current residential area south of the central business district. Its condition is fair and it remains a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"L-plan","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is 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 02:54:21.349313-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/82/9689/40968982/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002393.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968982","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001952"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/house-at-806-south-dallas-86002393/"}
