Notes

Photograph of 105 W. Green taken from the road. Photo was taken for the Historic Resources Survey of Palestine, Texas 1989-1991. The most common subtype of domestic building in Palestine from the late 19th century is the L-plan, and this property is a good local example. The house has a front- and side-facing gabled roof, which is the single most distinctive physical attribute of this kind of building. Noteworthy features include the porch with its slender classically-inspired columns and the oculus window in the front gable end. City directories show this house to have been occupied by a rapid succession of renters during the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, including: Charlie W. Stockoff, a master mechanic for the I&GN Railroad, and his wife, Pauline, in 1926; J.W. Prince in 1930-31; and George F. Short, a clerk for Missouri Pacific, and his wife, Maude, 1941.
