Marvin in Waxahachie, this two-and-a-half-story house has a brick veneer over a frame structure and a low-pitched hipped roof covered in tile. It was designed by Dallas architect C. D. Hill, who also designed the Rogers Hotel and Central Presbyterian Church. Merchant E. C. McCartney had it built, and in 1921 C. L. Penn bought it and lived there until the 1940s. The house is described as one of the city's most architecturally significant residences of the early twentieth century. Its Prairie-style features include broad eaves, unroofed terraces, multiple roof planes, horizontal proportions, continuous porch coping, decorative urns and flower boxes. The tile roof and paired cornice brackets refer to southwestern regionalism. Other details include a porte cochere, a hip-roofed porch with brick piers, a main entrance with transom and sidelights, and both interior and exterior brick chimneys. The survey recorded it in good condition and still used as a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"C.D.
