Barron-Veazey House
104 Umphress
Van Alstyne, Grayson Co., Texas

     Influenced by the prairie school of architecture in its form and its large, overhanging eaves, this home was built in 1905 for the family of Walter and Pearl Barron. A local merchant and banker, Barron sold the house in 1920 to hardware merchant R. Lee Veazey, in whose family it remained until 1965. Classical details such as the 
wraparound porch, fluted Corinthian columns, and Sullivanesque frieze along the roofline are also significant.
