Washington in Paris, Texas, this asymmetrical two-story frame house blends Queen Anne and Colonial Revival design. A wraparound porch rests on Doric columns set on plinths, an ornamented pediment marks the main entrance, and a curved corner window stands out on the northwest side. A Palladian window sits at the end of a lateral gable projecting from the pyramidal roof, and shallow side wings include a bay window on the west. The house was listed for its architecture, which includes early and important Colonial Revival detailing, and for being one of the more substantial and intact Victorian houses in the city. Its first occupant, Bailey, was a Detroit native who served under Gen. Sam Bell Maxey and managed the Cotton Oil Company in Paris. After his death in 1916 the house sold for $83,000, and Nathaniel Harden Ragland and his wife Jeanie lived there for many years. It remains a residence in good condition with no known alterations.","period_of_significance":"1800-1899","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Queen Anne/Colonial Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Physical condition good; no known alterations; still used as a residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.233469-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/13/9698/40969813/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88001917.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001917/5d72b839d0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88001917/5d72b839d0-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Dianna Markham","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bailey-Ragland_House.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Dianna Markham</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:Bailey-Ragland_House.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969813","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321971"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/lamar-county/bailey-ragland-house-88001917/"}
