Foote-Crouch House
401 N. Benge, McKinney, TXThis was originally a house but modern rear additions have changed somewhat the residence's configuration. The steeply pitched
dormers indicate a stylistic influence of the Gothic Revival mode. Although many similarly styled houses of the same vintage still stand in McKinney, this is among the best examples. It was built in 1881-82 for Edwin Foote, son of McKinney pioneer, Community, and business leader, G.A. Foote. In 1896 it was sold to L.W. Couch, a coffin and furniture maker.
Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
