Its spiral columns supporting the pedimented entry and the elliptical arch are called particularly rare. The area of significance is architecture at the local level.","narrative":"This 1-1/2 story Tudor Revival house at 302 South Bynum Street in Lufkin dates from about 1937. It was the home of C.W. Archie Perry, director of Perry Brothers, a variety store chain that began in Center, Texas, and had its offices in Lufkin by 1924. The wood frame house has brick veneer, a brick foundation and steep intersecting gable roofs. Its entry has a broken pediment with spiral columns and an elliptical arched door with a quatrefoil light. Brick header courses ring the windows, and an elliptical arch picture window with a sunburst transom sits at the south corner. A rough-cut stone fence and a two-story rear garage survive on the grounds. Local tradition links the house to two other Perry homes built at the same time by the same architect, who has not been identified. The house was recognized for its architecture at the local level, particularly the rare spiral columns. It remains a residence in good condition, with some rear additions.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good, with later additions at the rear and some window modifications.
