Its cross-gabled roof, rounded arched inset porch and casement windows are characteristic of the style. It retains a high degree of integrity and is significant for the domestic architecture of the community.","narrative":"This one-story brick veneer house at 401 North Richmond in Wharton, Texas, dates to about 1935 and reflects the Tudor Revival style. It faces east and sits well back from the street among mature vegetation, in a transition zone between an old residential area and a newer commercial one. Its asphalt-shingle cross-gabled hipped roof creates an interesting array of angles, and two front gables of unequal height mark the main facade. One gable covers a large inset porch with arched entries; the other is broken by a brick chimney with tile flues. The entrance sits under a rounded arch of rusticated stone voussoirs with an eyebrow arch above. Wood casement windows have multiple lights. Sanborn maps show a two-story frame house on the lot in 1929, later replaced by this dwelling. The original owner and builder are unknown. The house was listed for architecture as one of Wharton's best examples of Tudor Revival, and it retains a high degree of integrity. A contemporaneous frame garage also contributes.","period_of_significance":"ca. 1935","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Tudor Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Still used as a single dwelling, as in its historic use.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:23.159114-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/52/9707/40970752/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/93000107.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/93000107/6492daee99-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/93000107/6492daee99-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:House_at_401_North_Richmond,_Wharton,_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:House_at_401_North_Richmond,_Wharton,_TX.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"93000124","name":"Linn Street Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/texas/linn-street-historic-district-93000124/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970752","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002527"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/wharton-county/house-at-401-north-richmond-93000107/"}
