It is on its original site.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is architecturally significant at the local level as a popular turn-of-the-century vernacular form, similar to the Banks Residence. Its wraparound veranda is described as a special concession to the Texas climate. It is also tied to W. C. Binion, a printing company vice-president and later U.S. Postmaster.","narrative":"Located at 404 Mantooth in Lufkin, this 1-1/2 story wood-frame house was built around 1900 to 1910 and remains on its original site. It has horizontal board siding, a brick foundation, an irregular plan with projecting bays, and a steep hip roof with intersecting gables. Pedimented gable ends carry bargeboards, and Queen Anne fixed windows appear in the gables. A wraparound gallery porch with cylindrical Doric columns shelters an entry with sidelights and a transom. The one-over-one windows have flat pedimented hood molds. The house was listed for its architecture at the local level. It represents a popular turn-of-the-century vernacular Victorian form, similar to the Banks Residence, and its broad veranda was a practical response to the Texas climate. City directories show W. C. Binion, a printing company vice-president who later served as U.S. Postmaster, living at 404 Mantooth in 1937. The property was shown on the 1927 Sanborn map and is in good condition and still a residence.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Victorian (vernacular)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as good, and 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 02:54:20.914948-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/66/9679/40967966/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002785.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002785/e0c441f23e-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002785/e0c441f23e-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Binion-Casper_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:Binion-Casper_House,_Lufkin,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40967966","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321651"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/angelina-county/binion-casper-house-88002785/"}
