It stands in a residential area southeast of the central business district.","why_significant":"The house is significant for its architecture as an unaltered, intact example of the center-passage dwelling, a common regional vernacular form of the late 19th century. It is described as one of the least altered examples in Ennis. Windows flanking the entry replace sidelights, a variation on the standard window pattern usually seen with this plan.","narrative":"Built around 1890, this one-story frame house at 722 West Madison in Ennis follows the center-passage plan, a vernacular form common across the region in the late 19th century. The dwelling is one room deep and has weatherboard siding, a gable roof with composition shingles and box eaves, and wood double-hung windows with two-over-two lights. A single-door entrance opens within a one-bay porch with a shed roof and turned columns, and a service ell extends from the north side. The house was listed because it is one of the least altered examples of its type in Ennis. Windows flank the entry in place of sidelights, a variation on the fenestration pattern usually associated with this plan. The builder is unknown. The property occupies less than one acre in a semi-rural residential setting southeast of the central business district, remains in residential use, and is in fair condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Center-passage dwelling","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present use is residential; condition is described as fair.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.46576-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/54/9689/40968954/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002426.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968954","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001949"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/house-at-722-west-madison-86002426/"}
