Clyde and Mary Elliott, with a rear board-and-batten garage.","why_significant":"The house is described as one of the best bungalow examples in Wharton and the only \"airplane\" bungalow subtype in the city. Its broad sweeping roof, large columns, 9/1 windows and gable dormer express the early 20th century housing form. It retains a high degree of integrity and is significant locally under Criterion C for architecture.","narrative":"This 1 1/2-story frame bungalow at 707 North Walnut in Wharton sits on brick piers in a residential neighborhood north of downtown. Its side-gabled roof of asphalt shingles sweeps down over an inset front porch supported by large square stucco columns. A gable dormer with triple windows projects from the east roof slope, knee braces mark the eaves, and all windows are 9/1 wooden double-hung sash. A board-and-batten garage stands at the rear. E. Clyde and Mary Elliott bought three lots in the Barbee subdivision in 1919 and within a month contracted with the Russell Brown Company to build the house for $2,697. Mr. Elliott was a farmer with land near Glen Flora, and the couple owned the house until 1960. The house is considered one of the best bungalows in Wharton and the city's only example of the \"airplane\" bungalow subtype. Its high degree of integrity supports its local architectural significance.","period_of_significance":"1919","architect_builder":"Russell Brown Company","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Bungalow","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed as a private single dwelling; historic and current use are both single dwelling.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:24.0468-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/10/9707/40970710/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/93000122.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/93000122/4627aa7de7-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/93000122/4627aa7de7-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"25or6to4","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clyde_and_Mary_Elliott_House,_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:Clyde_and_Mary_Elliott_House,_Wharton,_TX.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40970710","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110002520"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/wharton-county/elliott-e-clyde-and-mary-house-93000122/"}
