Angle, D. M., House

Built in 1895 at 800 Beltline in Cedar Hill, this one-story wood-frame house is a Victorian-era cottage with a cross plan and intersecting gables. It is finished in novelty siding, with wide cornerboards topped by crude pilasters on the north and south wings. Two-over-two sash windows carry simple drip molds, and the gables are decorated with fish-scale shingles and bargeboard. The east gable has a single-pane diamond window, and turned porch columns are bracketed with turned spindles. A wraparound porch covers the east wing, while the original northwest and southwest porches have been enclosed, one as a screened porch. Little is known about the first owners. The house takes its name from later occupants. D. M. Angle bought it in 1909; he farmed and ran a general merchandise store on the square. It was sold to Nina Potter in 1934, and the Potters operated a grocery on the square. It is recognized as the city's most elaborate Victorian-era cottage.
