It sits in a mostly residential area east of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of the best local examples of the two-story modified L-plan house, a Victorian elaboration of the two-room, center-passage plan. It keeps much of its original fabric and picturesque massing, along with finely executed porch and gable detailing. The reviewer described it as a locally important regional type with intact Victorian detailing.","narrative":"This two-story frame house at 124 Kaufman Street in Waxahachie was built around 1895 in the modified L-plan form, a Victorian elaboration of the two-room, center-passage plan. It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables, double-hung wood windows, and an interior brick chimney. A seven-bay L-shaped porch wraps the south and west sides, with turned posts, turned balusters, jig-sawn brackets, and a spindle frieze. Gable and dormer bargeboards add further detail, and a secondary entry at the rear of the porch is typical of the type. The large scale and flat surfaces of the walls are offset by this finely executed woodwork. E. M. Hines, a farmer, built the house and owned it until the late 1930s, when contractor T. F. Timmins bought it. The house was listed because it is one of the best local examples of its plan type and retains much of its original fabric and picturesque massing. It remains in residential use and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Modified L-plan","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed in good condition and in residential use.
