It follows a bungalow plan and has weatherboard siding and a gable roof with composition shingles. Exposed rafter ends, stick brackets and roof beams projecting beyond the eaves give the roofline its character. Windows are wood-sash double-hung units with nine-over-one lights, and the primary entrance has a single door. A double porch with two bays wraps the north and east elevations, supported by triple wood posts set on brick piers. Bungalows were built in great numbers in McKinney during the 1910s and 1920s, and this house is regarded as one of the best local examples of the type. It was erected for an insurance salesman named Newsome, who later served as mayor. The house remains on its original site, is in good condition and is still used as a residence. It was documented in a 1985 survey of the city's historic resources.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good, and the 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 02:54:21.729595-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/41/9685/40968541/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001747.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001747/21e3561506-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/87001747/21e3561506-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Geeklet42","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:609_Tucker,_McKinney,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Geeklet42</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:609_Tucker,_McKinney,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968541","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001816"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/collin-county/newsome-r-f-house-87001747/"}
