1. Mayes House Marker
Inscription.

Architect Donald Mayes (1914-1966) designed and lived in this house with his wife, Rose Marie (Riddle) (1918-2008), whom he married in 1940. In addition to this home, he designed several others in the Edgewood addition, as well as banks, schools, First Presbyterian Church, Grayson County sub-courthouse and dozens of other residences in Denison. Mayes also played a prominent role in changes to the local built environment when he chaired Denison's planning and zoning commission. The one-story, gable-in-hip Mayes House lacks ornamentation due to rich features including Colorado Red Ledgestone and hand-split cedar shakes. The home's horizontality is emphasized by bands of windows with horizontal muntins.
