1. The Farmhouse Marker
Early 20th Century. This story and a half-style is described as 4-square meaning 4 large square rooms on the main floor. Each room opened to another. This house features a single large room upstairs with plenty of attic space under the eaves. Access to the upper room was from the dining area and is an enclosed stairway. The wrap-around porch was great for hot summers allowing for a lot of outdoor living. This house still has an enclosed porch area which many people did to add a bathroom when plumbing became available. This will be removed as it is restored to the original period. There are no fireplaces, but flues for stoves.
Erected by City of Allen, Collin County Historical Commission and Allen Heritage Guild.
