Gaines in Ennis, Texas, dates to an estimated 1915 and is faced in brick veneer. It has a hip roof with gables covered in tile, wood double-hung windows with multiple lights, interior brick chimneys and carved decorative brackets under the eaves. A two-bay porch with a gable roof and brick piers faces east, a porte cochere extends from the north side, and an unroofed terrace adjoins the house. A brick garage apartment stands on the lot. The property was listed because it is an intact, well-rendered example of the bungalow form, combining several materials typical of earlier and more elaborate bungalows. Its multiple roof planes, porch proportions and details are held up as characteristic of the type. The house was moved to its present site, and it remains in residential use in good condition. The 1925-26 city directory lists James S. Sanderson as a farmer. The architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good; present use is residential.
