Slonecki for James R. Wofford. A garage and a greenhouse stand behind it.","why_significant":"The house is a well crafted local example of Queen Anne architecture and one of Cuero's best preserved 19th century houses. It combines a common L-plan form with Queen Anne detailing, notably chamfered porch supports and ornate jigsawn woodwork. Aluminum siding detracts from its integrity, but the siding matches the original board width and the wood elements remain intact.","narrative":"Built around 1891 on East Prairie Street in Cuero, this 2 1/2-story frame house follows a modified L-plan under a hipped roof with intersecting gables. Tax records indicate S.V. Slonecki built it for James R. Wofford. A six-bay, two-story wraparound porch covers the south and east sides, supported by chamfered wood posts with molded caps and decorated with jigsawn brackets and balustrade. The house later passed to Fetus Farnsworth in 1904, then in 1909 to W.D. Finney, a prominent local physician, and remained in the Finney family until 1974. It was listed for its architecture. It is considered one of Cuero's best preserved 19th century houses, pairing a common form with Queen Anne detailing. Aluminum siding now covers the original weatherboard, which detracts from its integrity, though the siding matches the original board width and scale and the wooden porch elements survive. The property is still a single dwelling, with a garage and greenhouse behind.","period_of_significance":"1891","architect_builder":"Slonecki, S.V.","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition, still in use as a single dwelling, with aluminum siding over the original weatherboard.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.627887-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/24/9688/40968824/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/92000984.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000984/7b007976d8-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/92000984/7b007976d8-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wofford-Finney_House,_Cuero,_Texas.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:Wofford-Finney_House,_Cuero,_Texas.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968824","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110001903"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dewitt-county/wofford-finney-house-92000984/"}
