It has been moved and now sits in a residential area northeast of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it one of Waxahachie's most unique vernacular residences. Its two-room plan with no center passage is two rooms deep, whereas similar houses in the region are almost always one story high and one room deep. It is likely one of the oldest surviving residences in the city, and its two single-door entries are on a larger scale than most comparable examples.","narrative":"Built around 1880, this one-and-a-half-story frame house at 111 Williams in Waxahachie, Texas, has weatherboard siding, a gable roof with composition shingles, and wood double-hung windows. A three-bay shed-roofed porch with turned wood posts runs across the east elevation, and a broad, steeply pitched gable tops the house. Two single-door entrances with transoms reflect a late nineteenth-century vernacular feature, though here they appear on a larger scale than on most similar houses. The house follows a two-room plan without a center passage and is two rooms deep. Comparable houses in the region are almost always one story tall and only one room deep. For this unusual design, the house was described as one of the city's most unique vernacular residences and was recognized for its architecture. It is likely one of the oldest surviving homes in Waxahachie. It has been moved and now stands in a residential area northeast of downtown, still in residential use and in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Two-room plan","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good; the present use is residential.
