It is also one of the few early structures associated with the Southern Pine Lumber Company, now Temple-Inland Corporation. The area of significance is architecture at the local level.","narrative":"This 1-1/2 story wood-frame house at 501 Hines Road in Diboll was built in 1937 for Henry G. and Lucy Anderson Temple. Henry Temple was a superintendent of the Southern Pine Lumber Company, and the house was built by a carpenter crew from the Temple mill. Houston architect Ed Bodet, who designed houses for the Temple Lumber Company during the Depression, drew the plans with input from Mrs. Temple. The design features intersecting gable roofs, three dormers, and a five-bay screened gallery porch with boxed Doric columns. The form suggests Bodet may have drawn on early 19th-century Texas houses documented by the Historic American Buildings Survey. The grounds include a barn, greenhouse, garage, and caretaker's house, though only the house was counted as contributing. Around 1939 the mill's chief engineer designed an air conditioning system for the home. The house was listed for its Neoclassical architecture and its link to the Temple lumber enterprise.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":"Ed Bodet, architect; built by a carpenter crew from the Temple mill","architectural_style":"Neoclassical","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Present condition listed as excellent; the house was re-sided with wood fiber board of similar texture and 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 02:54:21.372502-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/40/9679/40967940/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/88002802.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40967940","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001395"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/angelina-county/temple-henry-g-house-88002802/"}
