Marvin in Waxahachie, Ellis County, Texas, first built in 1894-95 by the Dallas firm Flanders and Mood and rebuilt about 1914 after a fire. It has been moved to a residential area north of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination argues local architectural significance. The house was originally a large, irregular Queen Anne residence designed by the Dallas firm Flanders and Mood. After a severe fire before 1914 it was rebuilt with Bungalow-style detailing popular at that time, and the reviewer accepted it under Criterion C for that remodelling.","narrative":"This two-story frame house at 309 E. Marvin in Waxahachie began as a large Queen Anne style residence built in 1894-95. The Dallas architectural firm of Flanders and Mood designed it, and E. H. Griffin served as contractor. A severe fire damaged the house before 1914, and it was rebuilt with architectural detailing that was fashionable at that time, giving it the form of a bungalow. Features include weatherboard siding, imbricated shingles, a gabled dormer, exposed rafter ends, broad overhanging eaves, grouped windows and a five-bay shed-roof porch with squat tapered supports. T. J. Cole, president of the Texas Mortgage company, was the original owner. Auto dealer W. E. Hipp owned the house from 1918 to 1948. The property has been moved to its present residential area north of the central business district. It was listed for its local architectural significance, reflecting the 1914 bungalow remodelling carried out after the fire that destroyed much of the original Queen Anne house.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Flanders & Mood (1895); contractor E.
