Preston in Ennis, Ellis County, Texas, dated to 1909. It has been moved to a residential area northwest of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination cites architectural significance. Bungalow details such as exposed beams, decorative rafter ends, broad low porches and a porte-cochere are combined with a four-square plan. The reviewer judged it one of the city's best examples of a four-square house melded with bungalow detailing.","narrative":"Built in 1909, this two-story frame house at 403 N. Preston in Ennis combines two popular house types of its era. Its basic plan follows the four-square form, while the detailing comes from the bungalow tradition: exposed beams, decorative extended rafter ends, braced supports and broad, low porches. A porte-cochere on the north side and a sun room wing treated differently from the rest of the house add to the horizontal emphasis. The hip roof has gables and composition shingles, and the walls are covered with wood siding. Windows are wood double-hung sash with multiple lights in the upper sash, and the porch has stuccoed brick piers. A garage apartment and a greenhouse stand on the lot. The house was moved to its present residential area northwest of downtown and remains in good condition and residential use. It was listed because it is regarded as one of the city's best examples of a four-square house blended with bungalow detailing. The architect and builder are unknown.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed in good condition and in residential use; the house has been moved from its original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.93505-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/44/9689/40968944/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002501.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968944","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001936"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/fain-house-86002501/"}
