In 1893 Mr. and Mrs. T.F. Everett were owners and they maintained possession until 1934. This house stands as one of the city's primer examples of an L-plan dwelling. The small inset balcony above the front entrance is a distinctive element of this structure. The L-plan is one of the most common vernacular house forms in McKinney and this house is one of the best preserved.
