Its Queen Anne detailing, including jigsawn porch brackets, turned posts and a sunburst bargeboard, places it among the finest local examples. The reviewer recommended acceptance under Criterion C.","narrative":"This one-and-a-half-story frame house at 805 Howell in McKinney was built around 1895 for J.R. Coggins, who kept ownership into the 1930s. It sits on its original site in a residential area of mostly late 19th-century houses, about four blocks southwest of the central business district. The house follows a modified L plan, the most common vernacular form in McKinney during that period. Weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables, and one-over-one wood windows give it a traditional frame appearance. Queen Anne ornamentation sets it apart: jigsawn porch brackets, turned wood posts and balustrade, a porch frieze, shingled gable ends, octagonal turrets on the north and east sides, and a solid bargeboard with sunburst detailing. Many local houses share similar details, but this one is judged among the finest. It was listed for its architecture as one of the city's best examples of the L-plan type with Queen Anne decoration. It remains in residential use and good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Modified L-plan dwelling with Queen Anne style ornamentation","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good, 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 02:54:21.254902-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/79/9685/40968579/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001682.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001682/32078cbad1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001682/32078cbad1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:J.R.CogginsHouse1.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:J.R.CogginsHouse1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968579","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001781"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/collin-county/coggins-j-r-house-87001682/"}
