    This Victorian style building was built by businessman William F. Lewis and Ellis County Judge M. B. Templeton in 1890. The property was purchased in 1890 by a well-known defense attorney for his law offices. Later the building was used for a grocery store, Justice of the Peace and real estate, insurance office. Next door is the Ellis County Historical museum.

    This house is listed on the Historic register and is on the 'historic tour'. It was built in 1899 and is one of the cities best examples of Queen Anne style architecture. There is a round corner asymmetrical floor plan. On the property there is the original outbuildings such as a barn, windmill house, servants quarters, arbour and 'pit' (which is an underground hot house). The original owner operated a freight and grocery business before he founded a bank in 1881 which later merged with the Citizens National Bank. The home is privately owned by Patrick descendants.

    This house was built in 1896 for a banker and civic leader H. W. Trippet, it was then sold to Walter E. Shive who owned the Waxahachie seed, grain and coal store. The home is indicative of the houses built at the turn of the century in this neighbourhood and features cedar fish-scale shingles, a wraparound porch and octagonal tower. It was restored by the Robert Bell Family in 1983.

    Waxahachie has one of the States richest and most organised collections of turn-of-the-century residential and commercial buildings. The city is well marked with sign posts showing a historic drive you can take. A lot of these houses sit on narrow streets, so stopping and parking is fairly difficult at times. There are a significant amount of historical sites that still remain right in the heart of the city. Much of the downtown area remains unchanged. About twenty percent of all the Texas buildings in the National Register of Historic Places are in Waxahachie.
