Tennessee in McKinney, Collin County, Texas, dated to about 1910. The house was moved to its present site in a mostly residential area about three blocks south of the central business district.","why_significant":"The inventory form cites architecture as the basis for significance. Hip-roofed bungalows were popular in the early 20th century, but few were built in McKinney, and this house, with Doric columns suggesting Classical Revival design, is described as one of the best local examples.","narrative":"This one-story frame bungalow at 312 S. Tennessee in McKinney dates to about 1910. It has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables, composition shingles, box eaves and wood-sash windows. An eight-bay porch wraps the north, west and south sides, supported by Doric columns whose capitals carry egg-and-dart molding and rosettes. The main entrance has a transom and sidelights, and the gable has Stick style recessed windows. A dormer faces east. The house was moved to its current location, in a mostly residential area of turn-of-the-century houses about three blocks south of the central business district. Its significance rests on architecture. Hip-roofed bungalows were popular in the early twentieth century, yet few were built in McKinney, and this one, with classical details, is called one of the best local examples. The original owner is unknown, but city directories show that by 1924 Thomas Johnson, a vice-president of the Collin County National Bank, owned it. The house remains residential and in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow (with Classical Revival suggestions and Stick style recessed gable windows)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Condition is listed as 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 02:54:21.435464-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/39/9685/40968539/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001724.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001724/6bad81c71f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001724/6bad81c71f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ThomasJohnsonHouse1.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:ThomasJohnsonHouse1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968539","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000716"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/collin-county/johnson-thomas-house-87001724/"}
