Reeves-Womack House
405 W. Fox St., Caldwell, TXThe Reeves-Womack House is the best surviving example of Victorian-era Queen Anne Style architecture in Caldwell, Burleson County, Texas. A finely crafted example of mail-order design, the house represents an era when plans were marketed through catalogs released by many architects nationwide. It appears to be influenced by an 1895 design by George F. Barber of Knoxville, Tennessee. It was built by local master carpenter James Teague for banker William Reeves and his wife about 1895 and exhibits typical Queen Anne traits and an exuberant Eastlake wraparound porch. With only three resident owners in its nearly 100 years, the house has been meticulously maintained and therefore retains a high level of integrity and its historic character. As an excellent example of Queen Anne architecture and popular national design, it is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places in the area of Architecture at the local level of significance.
Local significance of the building:Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
