Both have been moved to their current site, about four blocks north of the central business district.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the houses are significant for architecture. Although bungalows were popular in McKinney from the 1910s to the 1930s, most were simply detailed and later altered. These two neighboring houses are good, unaltered examples, distinguished by Craftsman-period design influenced by Japanese stylistic details.","narrative":"Two matching bungalows at 406 and 408 Heard in McKinney, Texas, date to about 1920. Each is a one-story frame house clad in weatherboard siding, with a gable roof of composition shingles, exposed rafter ends, stick brackets, tapered box porch supports, double-hung windows with four-over-one lights, and two interior brick chimneys set off from center. Both have concrete porch floors. Neither was built on its present lot; they were moved to a neighborhood of mostly c. 1900 dwellings, roughly four blocks north of the downtown business district. Architect and builder are unknown. They were listed for their architecture. Bungalows were widely built in McKinney during the 1910s, 1920s and 1930s, but most were detailed simply and altered over the years. These two neighboring houses remain largely unaltered and show Craftsman-period design influenced by Japanese stylistic details. A 1985 survey recorded both in good condition and still serving as residences.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow (Craftsman, with Japanese-influenced details)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Both houses are described as in good condition and still in residential use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:20.964995-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/37/9685/40968537/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001722.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001722/64f6b74564-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001722/64f6b74564-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Dianna Markham","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:408_Heard,_McKinney,_Texas.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Dianna Markham</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:408_Heard,_McKinney,_Texas.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968537","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000761"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/collin-county/houses-at-406-and-408-heard-87001722/"}
