Chestnut in McKinney, Texas, this one-and-a-half-story frame house was built around 1910 by F.C. Faires, who worked for W.R. Hill and Co., a local gasoline distributing firm. It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with composition shingles and box eaves, and wood double-hung windows. The main entrance has a single door with a transom and sidelights. A six-bay porch with a hip roof wraps the south and west sides, supported by Doric columns and fitted with a battered balustrade. A dormer rises on the front elevation, and classical detailing appears around the doors and windows. The house is considered significant for its architecture. It is regarded as a rare local example of a hip-roofed bungalow, an early Popular house form built in McKinney during the 1910s, combined with Classical Revival detail. It stands on its original site in a residential area of mostly turn-of-the-century houses, about three blocks south of the county government complex. Its condition was recorded as good in 1985.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Hip-roofed bungalow with Classical Revival detailing (early Popular house form)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Recorded in 1985 as in good condition and still in residential use, on its original site.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.031114-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/21/9685/40968521/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001705.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001705/63f74e736f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001705/63f74e736f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"JERRYE &amp; ROY KLOTZ M.D.","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F._C._FAIRIES_HOUSE,_MCKINNEY,_COLLIN_COUNTY,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">JERRYE &amp;amp; ROY KLOTZ M.D.</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F._C._FAIRIES_HOUSE,_MCKINNEY,_COLLIN_COUNTY,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968521","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001796"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/collin-county/faires-f-c-house-87001705/"}
