Maddox, John W., House
a.k.a. Site #7
1115 E. 3rd St., Austin, TXThe Maddox House is an excellent, unusually elegant example of a Victorian L-plan residence. Unlike most such structures, the original plan of the house has remained intact, there having no been additions or porch enclosures that altered the building's configuration.
Tax records indicate that the house was built for John Maddox, a driver with the Texas Express Company,in 1884. Some ten years later the building was occupied by O.J. Clements, who lived in the house and operated a meat market at the same address in a small frame structure just northeast of the house.
Listed in National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
