Hull and Praeger, a local architectural firm described as important, designed it in the Neoclassical Revival style. The wood-frame building has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gabled dormers, and box eaves with carved brackets and a molded frieze. Its west elevation is a symmetrical three-bay facade with a one-story flat-roofed porch and a two-story central porch featuring fluted Ionic columns, turned balusters and a denticulated frieze. The primary entry has tripartite leaded bevel glass, and a single door with a transom opens onto the second level. The plan is Georgian, expanded by several additions to the north, east and south. Its condition is fair, and some ornament is missing. The house remains in residential use in the southeast part of the original townsite, and it was recognized as one of the city's most imposing examples of its style.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Hull & Praeger","architectural_style":"Neoclassical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present use is residential; condition is described as fair, with additions to the north, east and south elevations and some ornament missing.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.872464-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/18/9704/40970418/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002567.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002567/35f4192e35-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002567/35f4192e35-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"ProfReader","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:E.C._Kaufman_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">ProfReader</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:E.C._Kaufman_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970418","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002427"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/victoria-county/kaufman-e-c-house-86002567/"}
