Louisiana in McKinney, Collin County, Texas, built in 1898 by attorney James R. Gouch (also spelled Gough). It sits in a residential area of mostly late 19th-century houses about ten blocks west of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination presents the house as one of the finest examples of Queen Anne-style architecture in McKinney. An earlier version also claimed significance in politics/government because of Gouch and later owner Wallace Hughston, but reviewers required more justification and that claim was removed. The house was accepted on its architecture alone.","narrative":"Built in 1898 at 1206 W. Louisiana in McKinney, this two-story frame house is regarded as one of the city's finest examples of Queen Anne architecture. It has an asymmetrical plan, weatherboard siding, a hip roof and a five-bay porch that wraps around the south and east sides, supported by Doric columns with turned-wood balusters. A three-story tower with imbricated shingles, a finial, garlands and brackets anchors the design. Palladian and oriel windows face east, a dormer repeats the Palladian motif, and second-story porches are inset. Classical detailing frames the doors and windows. James R. Gouch, a local attorney and former state representative and state senator, built the house. Wallace Hughston bought it in 1918 and later served as a state senator. Reviewers accepted the property for its architectural quality, and the house remains in residential use in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne-style dwelling","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed condition is good; 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 02:54:21.084465-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/93/9685/40968593/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001710.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001710/863429d6cc-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001710/863429d6cc-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"William Bruce McFadden","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:McKinney_Gough-Hughston_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">William Bruce McFadden</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:McKinney_Gough-Hughston_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968593","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321833"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/collin-county/gough-hughston-house-87001710/"}
