This two-story buff brick residence is capped by a green-tiled hipped roof with soffited eaves and decorative brackets. A central gabled portico has an arched entry flanked by Tuscan columns. Double-hung windows are grouped in panels of three. A roof-terraced porte-cochere projects from the west wall. This eclectic design was commissioned by Dr. John H. McLean. McLean was the son of W. P. McLean, a prominent attorney and member of the Texas Legislature and U. S. House of Representatives. Built c. 1920, the house remained in the McLean family until 1946. The McLean House is a contributing resource in the Elizabeth Boulevard Historic District (local and national).
