It faces west and is a single-dwelling residence.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of Wharton's finest and best examples of the L-plan form in a modest dwelling, and that it retains a high degree of integrity. Its gable-front tripartite window and decorated porch set it apart from other local L-plan houses. It is nominated under Criterion C in architecture within the context of Community Development in Wharton, 1875-1942.","narrative":"Built around 1900, this one-story frame house at 119 South Resident Street in Wharton follows an L-plan, with intersecting gable roofs covered in asphalt shingles, weatherboard siding and a foundation of brick piers. The west-facing front has four bays, including a tripartite window bay and a single door. An open porch with turned columns, brackets and a geometric balustrade wraps the southwest corner, and a screened porch extends from the south gable. Windows are two-over-two wooden double-hung sashes. Edwin Hawes Jr. bought the house in 1919 for $1,000, spent a year working on it, and moved in with his new wife in 1921. It remains in the Hawes family, though little else is known of its history. The house was listed for its architecture. Although modest in scale, it is regarded as one of Wharton's best examples of the L-plan type from the turn of the century, distinguished by its tripartite window and porch detailing.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1900","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"OTHER: L-plan House","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling and remains in the Hawes family; the form says it retains a high degree of integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:23.952679-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/28/9707/40970728/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/93000105.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970728","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002540"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/wharton-county/hawes-edwin-jr-house-93000105/"}
