Two-story house with possible English basement and second floor portico accessed by exterior staircases
Description:
Unknown house, East Texas, exterior | Two-story house with finely decorated second floor portico accessed by two curved exterior staircases with intricate iron balustrades. First floor is possibly an English basement with an open-air passageway through the middle. There is no visible front entrance or wall in the area beneath the portico, which is fronted by a lattice screen cut with a round archway in the center. Clapboard siding on entry-level, first level built of cement block or stone, and shingle roof. Tree foliage at top and side of frame. | From a series of unique photographic images, which Williams took on his travels through central Texas in the 1920s, showing examples of vernacular architecture. Williams donated the negatives to the UT's School of Architecture in 1961 and they were subsequently transferred to the Alexander Architectural Archives. | Location possibly Daingerfield, Jefferson, Marshall or Nacodoches
