Marvin in Waxahachie, Ellis County, Texas, built in 1885 for Richard Vickery.","why_significant":"It is described as one of the city's premier examples of a two-story L-plan dwelling. It was built for Richard Vickery, the prime developer of Waxahachie's East End, whose business interests in the city were widespread. It is recognized under the areas of architecture and commerce.","narrative":"Built in 1885 at 1104 E. Marvin in Waxahachie, this two-story frame house was constructed for Richard Vickery, who was the prime developer of the city's East End. Its L-plan form includes an integral rear ell and a two-story hexagonal corner turret topped by a conical roof with a finial. Weatherboard siding, a gable roof with box eaves and jig-sawn brackets, jig-sawn bargeboards in the gable ends, and one-over-one double-hung windows give it a detailed Victorian character. A three-bay porch with chamfered and turned wood elements sits within the front-projecting wing, and classical detailing frames the doors and windows. The house is regarded as one of the city's premier two-story L-plan dwellings. Vickery had widespread business interests in Waxahachie and also helped develop the Glenwood addition in Fort Worth. He sold the property in 1901, and in 1930 attorney Will Hancock bought it and lived there until 1955. The house remains residential and is in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"L-plan","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as excellent, 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 02:54:21.937191-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/4/9691/40969104/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002528.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002528/7140e813bc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002528/7140e813bc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:RichardVickery1.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:RichardVickery1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969104","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001982"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/vickery-richard-house-86002528/"}
