Name: Z. T. (Tip) Hawkes House Location: 132 North Potter Street Cedar H i l l , Texas
Owner of Property: Clark and Pam Langhorst Address of Owner: 132 North Potter Street Cedar H i l l , Texas
BRIEF PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
The Hawkes House i s a two-story, wood-framed, lap-sided two-room I house with f u l l front porch and one-story "T" wing centered on the rear. O r i g i n a l l y the house had f u l l porches on the north and south of the T, but the north porch was enclosed to create a bathroom i n a 1982 renovation. The h a l l staircase i s unenclosed and rises from the back of the h a l l . The main roof i s gabled and the porch has a simple shed roof. Unlike the e a r l i e r houses, the Hawkes house has no fireplaces.
Only three decorative elements are present on the ext e r i o r of the house: chamfered porch columns, a Victorian-era front door, and a s i m p l i f i e d decorative bargeboard subs t i t u t e d for returns on the gable ends of the main u n i t . The porch i s finished with a wooden l a t t i c e apron. The small, frame, one-car garage to the south of the house i s finished i n shiplap with simple corner boards. I t s gable roof has exposed eaves.
Architectural Style: " I " house Date of Construction: 1899
STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE:
This i s one of two remaining "I" houses i n Dallas County that has retained i t s architectural i n t e g r i t y . As such, i t t y p i f i e s middle-class housing i n the Southern t r a d i t i o n . The house i s a classic example of t h i s f o l k type, modeled a f t e r an English folk house and introduced i n North America by English colonist. The "I" house was once common in Texas, since s e t t l e r s from southern and midwestern states continued to b u i l d houses i n the simple forms they were fa m i l i a r w ith. Today, however, t h i s house i s one of only f i v e "I" houses s t i l l standing i n Dallas County, and the only one that possesses a T wing, the most common modular expansion of the basic I u n i t .
