It was one of two similar houses owned by the Kennedy brothers, and A. C. Kennedy was a partner in a downtown Lufkin jewelry store. The area of significance is architecture at the local level.","narrative":"Built around 1920 at 603 East Groesbeck Street in Lufkin, this one-story bungalow is covered in drop siding and has a gable composition roof with extended rafter ends and knee braces. Windows are nine-over-one wood double-hung sashes with hood molds and decorative surrounds. A large brick chimney rises on the west side, and a projecting porch rests on heavy brick columns. The house reportedly cost $6,000 to build. Inside, beaded ceilings, pine floors and an original tile bathroom survive, though some walls have been paneled and some ceilings lowered. Its significance rests on architecture. The large bracketed entrance gable is typical of the bungalow style, while the panelled porch beam is considered a rarity. It was one of two similar houses owned by the Kennedy brothers, across the street from one another. A. C. Kennedy was a partner in Kennedy's Jewelry Store downtown. The house lies in an early residential area north of the central business district and appears on 1927 Sanborn maps.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good to fair, and the house is still used as a residence.
