It has weatherboard siding, a gable roof with box eaves, wood double-hung windows with two-over-two lights, and a single-door entry with a transom. A one-bay porch under a shed roof rests on turned wood posts. The gable end carries imbricated shingles, jigsawn bargeboard and a pent roof. The house has been moved and sits in a residential area south of the central business district. It was recorded in a 1985 survey as in good condition and still used as a residence. Although many shotgun houses remain in Waxahachie, this one is described as the oldest and most intact of its kind in the city. Most of the others have little significant detail, whereas this house keeps ornate decorative woodwork. Reviewers judged it a fine example of the type within the local context, and it was listed for its architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Shotgun","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed in good condition and used as a residence; the form also notes the house was moved.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.326634-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/70/9690/40969070/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002487.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002487/0c4dcbafb6-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002487/0c4dcbafb6-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_301_Turner_in_Waxahachie(1_of_1).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_301_Turner_in_Waxahachie(1_of_1).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969070","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001993"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/house-at-301-turner-86002487/"}
