Jackson, A. J., House
305 S. Ferguson, Stamford, TX<p>The A.J. Jackson Residence is a good, unaltered, frame dwelling that typifies the inexpensive housing built in Stamford in its first years. The house was erected before 1908, probably in 1905 (according to the present owner, who is the daughter of the original owner).</p><p>Most of Stamford's early working-class housing has either been demolished, denatured, or heavily modified with stucco or asbestos-tile siding coupled with the removal of trim. The fact that this little house remains intact down to the original windows, siding, plan, and even trim is highly unusual. It serves as a reminder of the typical early Stamford housing unit, a type of structure quickly disappearing from the local<br>scene.</p>
