Atkinson. The architect or builder is unknown.","why_significant":"The house is considered one of the most substantial local examples of the Queen Anne and Eastlake styles. Its design recalls the pattern-book houses of George Barber. Alterations to the porch and tower windows are judged not to harm its integrity. It is significant at the local level for architecture.","narrative":"This 2½-story wood-frame house at 802 Fitzhugh in Paris, Texas, was built around 1890-1891 for J.D. Atkinson, a shoe manufacturer and capitalist. It is finished in Queen Anne and Eastlake styles, with a pyramidal roof broken by chimneys and lateral gables, a conical tower at the southwest corner, and a wraparound porch with Doric columns. The west gable is unusual, with brackets and finials, and the tower's second floor is clad in staggered-butt shingles. Inside, the original parquet floors, woodwork, shutters and light fixtures survive. In 1910 the house was sold to dentist Eugene Felder Morris, and it was saved from a fire in 1916. Its design is reminiscent of the pattern-book houses of George Barber. The porch over the front door has been replaced and plate glass inserted in the tower windows, but these changes do not mar its integrity. It was recognized as one of the most substantial local examples of its styles and remains a residence on a large lot.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne/Eastlake","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Physical condition is good; the house is still used as a residence, and original parquet floors, woodwork, shutters and light fixtures remain.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.300264-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/17/9698/40969817/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88001914.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001914/2d857a082f-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001914/2d857a082f-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atkinson-Morris_House,_Paris,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Atkinson-Morris_House,_Paris,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969817","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321977"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/lamar-county/atkinson-morris-house-88001914/"}
