Church in McKinney, Collin County, Texas, built about 1875 by lumberman James P. Nenney for his family and remodeled in the 1920s.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is architecturally significant as a rare example of residential Victorian Italianate architecture in McKinney. Its finely crafted jigsawn hood moldings over arched windows are singled out as especially noteworthy. The commercial significance of Nenney's lumber business was removed from the resubmitted nomination.","narrative":"Built about 1875 by lumberman James P. Nenney for his family, this two-story frame house at 601 N. Church in McKinney is an L-plan dwelling with weatherboard siding, a hip roof with wide overhanging eaves, and double-hung windows. Arched windows are framed by turned surrounds topped with jigsawn hood moldings, which the nomination calls especially noteworthy. A two-story inset porch with seven bays wraps the south and east sides. Its balusters, columns and entry date from an early twentieth-century remodeling, with porch changes completed in the 1920s. The house is listed as a rare example of residential Victorian Italianate architecture in McKinney. Nenney was one of the city's earliest lumbermen, in business by 1885, and sold his interests by 1890. His descendants kept the house until the 1980s. The wood is believed to have been bought in New Orleans and shipped via Jefferson, though this is unconfirmed. The house remains residential and in good condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Nenney Lumber Co.
