Atwood and his wife Stella, this two-story house at 605 N. Preston in Ennis is a Georgian Revival dwelling with a center-hall plan two rooms deep. It has brick veneer walls, a side-gabled roof with composition shingles, and brick chimneys with corbeled caps. The symmetrical, rectangular block has six-over-six double-hung wood windows, jack arches with keystones of stuccoed brick, and a single-door entrance with a transom and sidelights. A small flat-roofed porch with Doric columns and square wood piers covers only the entry bay, and pedimented dormers are placed symmetrically across the roof, typical of the style. An enclosed porch sits on the south elevation. The house has been moved to its present residential area northwest of the central business district. It was recognized as the best local example of Georgian Revival domestic architecture, since few similar houses were built in Ennis. It remains in residential use and is in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Georgian Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is stated as excellent; 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 02:54:21.500773-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/58/9689/40968958/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002504.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002504/98561fd481-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002504/98561fd481-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atwood-Burden_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:Atwood-Burden_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968958","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000587"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/atwood-e-k-house-86002504/"}
