The architect and builder are unknown, and the house has been moved to its present site.","why_significant":"The nomination finds it significant for architecture, as a fine local example of a craftsman-influenced bungalow, a type that became widely popular in the 1910s and 1920s. The reviewer described it as a locally significant craftsman-influenced bungalow and recommended acceptance under Criterion C.","narrative":"Built around 1920 at 309 University in Waxahachie, this one-story frame house with brick veneer represents the craftsman-influenced bungalow style that spread widely during the 1910s and 1920s. It has a gable roof covered in tile, wood double-hung windows with single-pane upper and lower sashes, and a single-door main entrance. A six-bay porch with its own gable roof runs across the east side, resting on tapered box supports set on brick piers. Other features typical of the form include an exterior brick chimney, broad overhanging eaves, triangular braces, extended rafter ends, multiple roof planes and a porte-cochere on the south side. The house has been moved and now sits in a residential area northwest of the central business district, south of the old Trinity University campus. It was listed as part of a group of Waxahachie properties because it is a fine local example of its architectural type. It remains in residential use and is in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow (craftsman-influenced)","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good, and the present use is residential.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:20.738647-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/40/9689/40968940/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002485.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002485/8a0d5e7928-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002485/8a0d5e7928-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F._R._Adamson_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F._R._Adamson_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968940","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000624"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/adamson-f-r-house-86002485/"}
