Built between roughly 1910 and 1930, it has wood lap siding, a rectangular plan, and a composition gable roof with extended rafter ends and knee braces. A projecting porch rests on rectangular masonry columns, a dormer and chimney rise through the roof, and a porte cochere extends from the north facade. Windows are decorative six-over-one units set in pairs and fours with hood molds, and the doors are multipaned. Surveyors described it as an unusual variant of the Foursquare, more linear than typical and lacking a hip roof. It appears on the 1927 Sanborn map. City directories link it to Mrs. Chloe Collins in 1928, to Major Marvin W. and Anna L. Marsh in 1937, and to Jean and Garvice Shotwell in 1946-47. Marsh was the first District Commander of the Civilian Conservation Corps. Its significance rests on local architecture.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Bungalow with Four Square plan","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Condition is listed as good and the present use is residence.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.046822-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/12/9679/40967912/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002796.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002796/61d48b6faa-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/88002796/61d48b6faa-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marsh-Smith_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:Marsh-Smith_House,_Lufkin,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40967912","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q107321650"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/angelina-county/marsh-smith-house-88002796/"}
