Berry and W.R. McMullen for W.P. and Rose Humason.","why_significant":"The nomination calls it a good example of Victorian style, with gingerbread ornamentation that reflects the period. Significance is architectural, at the local level. It is also tied to William P. Humason, an early ice cream maker and showman in Lufkin.","narrative":"Built in 1909 at 602 Grove Street in Lufkin, this one-story frame house was erected for W.P. and Rose Humason by the partners W.P. Berry and W.R. McMullen. A mechanic's lien dated July 6, 1909 describes a six-room, shingle-roofed dwelling contracted for $2,700. The house has lap wood siding, a hip-and-gable roof with two chimneys, a chamfered bay with bargeboards and pendants, and a wraparound porch with turned columns and fretwork. It is valued locally as a good example of Victorian design with fine gingerbread ornamentation. William Humason was an early ice cream maker whose company stood at Bonner and Grove streets. He also played violin and led an orchestra at the Lufkin Opera House. His brother Charles served as mayor and later city manager. City directories of 1928 and 1937 list J.W. and Jessie Pinkerton as occupants. The house remains on its original site and in residential use.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"WP Berry & WR McMullen","architectural_style":"Victorian","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good to fair; the house is 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 02:54:21.698424-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/64/9679/40967964/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002773.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002773/9ffe57639a-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002773/9ffe57639a-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Humason-Pinkerton_House,_Lufkin,_TX.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">25or6to4</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:Humason-Pinkerton_House,_Lufkin,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40967964","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321657"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/angelina-county/humason-pinkerton-house-88002773/"}
