The Clark-Whitton House, Late Victorian (1900)
Good example of architectural style. Built for Dr. Clark, the Angelina County Lumber Company physician. Example of high style residence built for a high ranking official t the mill. Closely associated with sites No. L-526 and L-529, also Angelina County Lumber Company residences. Described by Lita Maberry as a "Type A" house distinguished by their size, spacious fenced yard, and location in the community. Each house was painted white, had eight to 10 rooms, and was equipped with all modern conveniences. Each Type A house was usually attached to a garage and could be found in groves of oak trees.

I'm partial to the Everett Cox house with its deep porch and beautiful windows. On closer inspection it seems to be a bit neglected, sad.
But - someone has taken good care of the Byus Kirkland Craftsman home. That's a beauty too.
Midtown/Intown Atlanta and Buckhead (just north of midtown) and the Emory Univ/Druid Hills area (think Driving Miss Daisy) have lots of those large Mediterranean Revival homes. Those don't look Texas to my eyes but then again I don't know much about Texas.
That one is nice, Amy. Perhaps the most historic of the handful. Someone is in the process of renovating it, so it looks to be restored to its previous glory.
Yes, the Mediterranean/Italian style really sticks out here!
418 E. Groesbeck is my home. It was built around 1905 and is a wonderful place to live.
The one you have listed as the Lockett House is my home. It was built around 1895 and is originally the Eli Weiner Home. This family was instrumental in the beginnings of the Keltys area where the home is located. We are in the process of restoring and ready to get to live in this grand dame.
We live in the Clarke - Whitton house on Old Mill Rd. Built in 1905 for the sawmill Dr., Dr. Clarke. We have steadily been working on it since we purchased it 15 years ago. The doctor had an office in the rear with a separate entrance, and all the windows are frosted glass for privacy. We love it.
