House at 500 North Main, East
500 N. Main E, Ennis, TXThis modest T-plan dwelling survives as the best local example of its type. Turned posts and jig-sawn brackets of the wrap-around porch remain intact, distinguishing this residence from the few other T-plan houses built and the simple two-room vernacular structures from which this plan type evolved. Owned by Mrs. Sarah A. McKay in the 1920s and 1930s.
