George L. Mathis, a brakeman for the Texas & Pacific Railroad, and his wife, Louise, acquired this lot in the Queensborough Addition in 1933 and hired John W. Padgett to construct their house the same year. The residence remained in the Mathis family until 1982. The one-story house of generally rectangular plan is clad in textured yellow brick. Under a hipped mansard roof, a recessed entry porch has Tudor arches trimmed with sandstone. A tall, double chimney stack and quaint hipped dormers enliven the Period Revival composition. The house is in original condition, except for a recent addition behind the roof ridge.
