Denton in Ennis, Texas, this one-story frame house stands on a corner lot in an older residential neighborhood. Its pyramidal roof is broken by a hip dormer, and a front veranda runs the length of the entrance facade on paired piers. A porte-cochere extends from one side. The form describes it as a noteworthy one-story version of the American Foursquare, with bungalow influence, in which the roof and veranda are the most prominent features and the overall effect is strongly horizontal. The house was the home of J.M. Weekley, a vice president of a publishing company, and his wife Bertha. City directories from 1921, 1925 and 1931 were used as sources. The architect and builder are unknown. The house was recorded in good condition and still in residential use, and it was included in a group of Ennis historic resources because of its architectural character.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Bungalow influence; one-story version of American Foursquare","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition and in residential use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:20.913033-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/30/9689/40968930/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002406.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002406/e24043f334-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002406/e24043f334-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Weekley_House.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:Weekley_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968930","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001933"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/weekley-john-m-house-86002406/"}
