College in McKinney, Collin County, Texas, built around 1905 for an attorney. The house is in a residential area northwest of the central business district.","why_significant":"The house is a noteworthy example of an early 20th century dwelling and is distinguished by its Sullivanesque frieze. It is one of three McKinney houses with such a frieze and may have been designed by Dallas architect J.E. Flanders. It was also the home of the attorney who served as Collin County Judge from 1910 to 1916.","narrative":"Located at 705 N. College in McKinney, this two-story frame house was built around 1905 by an attorney who later served as Collin County Judge from 1910 to 1916 while living there. It has an asymmetrical plan, weatherboard siding, a hip roof with box eaves and stick brackets, and wood double-hung windows. A five-bay porch with fluted Composite columns and a balustrade wraps the south and east sides, with a second-story porch above. Window and door surrounds carry classical detailing. The feature that sets the house apart is a Sullivanesque frieze, possibly plaster, beneath wide overhanging eaves. Only three houses in McKinney have such a frieze, and this one may have been designed by Dallas architect J.E. Flanders. It resembles houses at 401 N. Lamar and 513 N. Church. The house was recognized as a noteworthy early 20th century dwelling. It remains in residential use and is in fair to good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":null,"criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present use is residential; condition is described as fair to good.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.466674-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/19/9685/40968519/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001695.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001695/10975a1593-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001695/10975a1593-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Geeklet42","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:705_N_College_St,_McKinney,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Geeklet42</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:705_N_College_St,_McKinney,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968519","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001764"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/collin-county/davis-h-l-house-87001695/"}
