Lamar in McKinney, Collin County, Texas, believed to have been built in the late 1870s for Judge R.L. Waddill and estimated at 1880/1905.","why_significant":"The nomination finds it locally significant for architecture as a good example of a 1 1/2-story center-passage dwelling. It was reoriented on its lot and remodeled in the early twentieth century, and these changes are treated as contributing features that show how a building evolves. Waddill was among McKinney's earliest leaders and was involved in early education efforts.","narrative":"This one-and-a-half-story frame house at 302 W. Lamar in McKinney, Texas, is a center-passage dwelling believed to have been built in the late 1870s for Judge R.L. Waddill. Sanborn maps show it first faced east onto Church Street, then was turned on the same lot between 1902 and 1908 to face south onto Lamar Street. Maps also show a remodeling between 1914 and 1920. The house has weatherboard siding, a hip roof with gables, two-over-two double-hung windows, a single-door entrance with sidelights, and a five-bay hip-roofed porch with Doric columns and squared wooden balusters. Hipped dormers extend from the eaves. Waddill was among McKinney's earliest leaders and took part in early education efforts in the city. The house was recognized for local architectural significance as a good example of its type. Its early twentieth-century changes are considered part of its character, illustrating how a building changes over time. It remained residential and in good condition when recorded in 1985.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Center-passage dwelling with additions","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition is described 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 02:54:21.719615-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/47/9685/40968547/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/87001755.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968547","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001773"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/collin-county/waddill-r-l-house-87001755/"}
