Its core dates to 1858 and it was remodeled to its present form in 1907.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it the grandest surviving Classical Revival residence in Paris and a typical overscaled Edwardian-era house. It is rated locally significant for architecture. The later T-shaped wings are low in scale and do not affect its integrity.","narrative":"Located at 730 Clarksville in Paris, Texas, this two-story frame house began in 1858 as the home of Dr. and Mrs. Alfred S. Johnson. In 1907 their grandson, cotton merchant T.A. Johnson, remodeled it into its present form. The house has a pyramidal roof with a dormer, wood siding, and a giant-order portico carried on paired fluted Corinthian columns, with a one-story porch below. Later, Dr. and Mrs. L.P. McCuistion acquired it after their own home burned in a 1916 fire. It was listed as the grandest surviving Classical Revival residence in Paris and a typical overscaled Edwardian house. Low T-shaped wings were added in 1950 and 1968 when the property became a funeral home, and they are counted as noncontributing. The wings are considered small enough in scale that they do not harm the integrity of the original house, which sits prominently on a large lot along a major thoroughfare in a largely commercial area.","period_of_significance":"1800-1900, 1900-","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Classical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition is stated as good; it is currently used as a funeral home.
