House – Lipscomb

This two-story wood-framed house is a good example of a recurring residential type. Gabled bays project to the front and side of a hipped block, with a full porch extending across the front. The porch is supported by round columns on concrete block bases. Roof eaves flare and are soffited. The house was built c. 1910 according to city directories, and first resided in by William B. Kellett, a clerk with the Fort Worth & Denver City Railway, and probably a renter. Robert E. Lee purchased the property in 1927 and resided here with his wife, Ruth, for ten years. He owned the Lee Service Station. The house has had numerous owners since the late 1930s. Since the original survey, the house has been covered with vinyl siding.
