Designed by Clarence C. Bulgar of Dallas, it has a wood frame with brick veneer, a low hip roof of clay tile, deep eaves with coffered soffits, and two gabled dormers. A projecting three-tiered entry with Doric columns, a leaded-glass door, and a second-floor balcony anchors the symmetrical front. A porte cochere stands on the south side, and a two-story garage and apartment sits behind. The form describes it as an unusual hybrid of Mediterranean and Georgian Revival features and calls it a good example of Italian Renaissance Revival style. Its interior finishes are largely intact. The first owner, Albert L. Boynton, was president of Boynton Lumber Company, a business that did not survive the Great Depression. Later owners included the Perry and Allgood families. It was listed for its local architectural significance.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Clarence C. Bulgar, Arch.
