Rawls House at 426 East Texas Street
The Rawls House at 426 East Texas at the corner of Dooley Street is located in the Rawls and
Dalton Subdivision. The house was built in 1947 based on a Cameron Lumber Company plan.
The house has a gabled roof with a cross-axial plan and asymmetrical massing. The house is
well place on the large lot toward Dooley Street allowing for a natural drainage sty le to pass
along the west side of the property. The swale contains a large stand of natural trees. As you ap-
proach the house, a front facing gable bisects the house. The entrance porch is located to the
right of the front gable. A detached garage is located to the rear of the property which entered
from Dooley Street.
Like other Cameron Homes in Grapevine it features a steep pitch roof, decorative features includ-
ing woodwork, ornamental brick chimney and x-brace design porch support posts. The house has
composition shingle siding and a composition roof. The siding is painted pale yellow with rust col-
ored trim.
15. Historical Significance CC=TE4#3 24
PZ ITEM#4
Statement of historical and cultural significance. include: cultural influences, special events and im-
portant personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc.
The Grapevine Area Map - Late 1800s to the 1920s prepared by Ted Willhoite, shows this property with
neighboring owners being the First Baptist Church, John Wood, and Cliff Wall. The parcel was bisected
by Coble Branch, and years ago Mr. Willhoite mentioned in conversation that at one time there was a
pond there fed by Coble Branch where children swam.
According to the Tarrant County Tax records, this property was owned by John Trig in august 1946, who
sold it to A. E. Rawls in October 1946. Then most likely a lien on the property was given to Jeff H. Cham-
pion, a local builder, who constructed a horse there. Then the deed passed back in 1947 to Arnold E.
Rawls and his wife. It was platted in 1951 as the Rawls and Dalton subdivision.
telephone conversation in February 2013 with Doll Dalton, the Rawls neighbor at 414 East Texas
Street, confirmed that the Rawls built the house on the corner and that Mrs. Rawls worked at Cannon
Elementary School. Mr. Dalton also remembered that Mr. Rawls was a carpenter. Mr. Calton recalled
that later the home was occupied y the Bass family including Lela Bass, the mother of Michael Bass.
The Bass family occupied the house in the 160s and Michael Bass and Craig Dalton were schoolmates.
In past interviews with Alice Fuller and Sandra Tate (both now deceased), they recalled that when Lake
Grapevine was constructed in 1946 to 1952, Grapevine experienced a surge in population. Many work-
ers on the reservoir project settled here. Other new citizens arrived to provide services for the growing
community. These included a builder, Mr. J. H. Champion. Mr. Champion built a house at 626 S. Church
Street and many others.
Mr. Champion, his wife and three daughters were well received community members and were active in
the Methodist Church. Mrs. Alice Fuller, who resided at 504 West College Street, remembered the
Champion family and Mr. Champion. a hired my son, Pierce, to help him build the house at 626 S.
Church Street. Fierce was only a kid at the time, but Mr. Champion let him assist him and he never forgot
it," Mrs. Fuller said. Sandra Tate, who lived at 216 West College Street, remembered the Champion's
daughter, Doris Champion Rawls. "She lived at Dooley and Texas Streets and attended the Methodist
Church," Ms. Tate said. (It appears that the Champion and Rawls families were united in marriage.)
Mr. J. H. Champion was a contractor and builder of Cameron Homes (see enclosed advertisement from
The Grapevine Sun newspaper). Wm. Cameron & Company built 52 homes in one year in Grapevine
during the mid 1960s according to Lloyd Graves, assistant manager of the Grapevine office of Wm. Cam-
eron Company from 1946 to 1986. One "Texan" model home was constructed at the corner of Main and
Franklin Streets and was later moved to Jean Street. Cameron also offered a program to completely re-
model and modernize existing homes. Rigorous adherence to Cameron's building specifications created
a generation of builders whose craftsmanship was unmatched.
Wm. Cameron's "Ideal Products Co." wholesale division offered a variety of"modern" convenience prod-
ucts constructed of i h quality Ponderosa pine which could be installed in the Cameron Home, These
products, manufactured in Waco, included four models of ironing boards which folded into the wall, a
bathroom cabinet with a built-in pull-down clothes hamper, and an Ideal telephone cabinet to keep your
phone "out of the way and always handy." With custom high quality "work zoned" cabinets which could
be"scientifically arran e ,'°Cameron set the standard for the modern home in Grapevine.
Cameron Homes offered working class citizens the opportunity to own their own modern homes at an
affordable price. Ah plans and specifications met the Federal Housing Administration and the Veteran's
Administration requirements for quality materials and workmanship. Cameron Homes were sold on "Easy
To Own" plans known as ETOs. The main requirement to quality for an T as that the purchaser own
his own lot outright and use it for collateral. The Cameron Company carried the loan on the ETO plan.
Home prices were presented in either all-lumber or brick veneer designs, with prices ranging accordingly
beginning at $2,070.20 for the shell house. Monthly payments as law as $15.14 per month plus taxes
and insurance were routinely advertised in The Grapevine Sun.
Cameron's high quality homes from an earlier day continue to provide local housing. One of Cameron's
marketing lines still rings true..."ffo a is a much better word if it belongs to you.,'

PRESERVATION
Preserve, iliz restore ri i I building form, ornament and materials.
Any missing or severely deteriorated elements may be replaced i replicas of the
original. Ensure that roof, window, porch cornice treatments are preserved, or when
preservation is not possible duplicate the original building element.
When rehabilitating, re non-historic I r do s.
"modern" renovations conceal the original facade details. If not, the original style
may be recreated roar use of historic photographs.
Where replication original elements is not possible, a new si n consistent with
original style of the building may be used.

1940
EXTERIOR FINISHES
Original wood finishes should be maintained and painted or, when necessary, replaced in
kind. Modern synthetic siding materials such as vinyl or metal bear little resemblance to
historic siding materials. The application of such modem synthetic materials often involves
the removal of original decorative elements such as cornice, corner boards, brackets,
window and door trim, etc. New synthetic siding shall not be installed; removal of existing
such materials is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic patina, finish
and appearance.
Original asbestos siding should be maintained and painted, or when necessary, replaced
with synthetic siding to match the existing asbestos siding. The removal of asbestos siding
over existing wood siding is not required, but strongly encouraged, to restore historic
patina, finish and appearance.
Original masonry surfaces should be maintained and not be painted, unless severe
deterioration oft brick or stone can be shown to require painting. If the color or texture
of replacement brick or stone cannot be matched with existing, painting may be an
appropriate treatment.
Paint colors should be complimentary to each other and the overall character of the house.
When possible, research the original paint color and finishes of the building's historic
period; the right colors respect the historic building.
The Historic Preservation Commission shall adopt, as necessary, a paint palette(s)
appropriate tot district's character, is may be proposed and approved through the
Minor Exterior Alteration application process. Any colors proposed outside the adopted
palette may be reviewed by the Commission in the regular Certificate of Appropriateness
process.
WINDOWS
Original window framing and lit es(panes of glass)configurations should be preserved and
maintained or replaced in kind.
When replacement is necessary, do so within existing historic opening. Replacement of
non-original windows should consider the use of historically appropriate wood windows.
Use same sash size to of filling in or enlarging the original opening. Clear or very
slightly tinted window glass may be used. No reflective or heavily tinted glass shall be
used.
Should the owner is to install security bars, they should be installed on the interior of
windows and doors.

exterior historic character of the building.
Should or m windows need installed on the erior of is ric windows, storm
windows constructed of configured to match the historic sashes (i.e. one over
one sashes) are recommended.
If metal storm windows are installed, in to len d with surrounding eI s.
EMBELLISHMENTS

New awnings and canopies should not be installed o windows or doors.
EXTERIOR
Lighting is n important element in residential r i ure should consistent with
historic character of the house.
Appropriate incandescent light fixtures to the style of the district should used.
Avoid exposed lighting of any kind unless of ioric fixture.
BUILDING NEW I
INIFILL
The Secretary the Interior's i li es for new uil in in i ric districts encourage
similarity of form and t ri ls, but not actual replication. New construction ro o l n
the rehabilitation of non-historic buildings will be reviewed based on these Criteria.
Judgment will be based on the compatibility of the design within context of the
properties ce nearby historic buildings.
The design of it i s should have elements it in ' historic period of
significance including in , scale, fenestration and materials.
I fill buildings should of be absolute reproductions, and appear as clearly contemporary.
Only when a previously demolished historic Grapevine building can be accurately
replicated may e reproduction e considered.
I fill buildings between historic buildings should be similar in ck, roof form, cornice
line and t ri Is, to one of the adjacent uil i s. Relate height of new uil i to the
heights o j cent structures. Avoid new buildings that tower over existing ones.
Horizontal wood siding (either novelty,tongue and groove, shiplap orequivalent)and ric
are appropriate exterior building finishes for the historic house. Fake brick or stone or
gravel aggregate eri Is shall never be used.

ADDITIONS TO HISTORIC BUILDINGS
Additions to historic buildings should replicate the style of the main building if possible,
otherwise they should adhere to the general style with simplified details.
As a minimum, new additions should reflect the massing, roof shape, bay spacing, cornice
lines and building materials of the primary structure.
All new wood or metal materials should have a painted finish except on some 20'h century
buildings her the use of unpainted aluminum or steel was part oft e original design and
should be maintained.
A new addition should, if at all possible, be located at the rear of the historic building. If
this is not possible, the addition may be added to the side if it is recessed at least 18
inches from the historic building facade or a connection is used to separate old from new.
New vertical additions should be set back from primary facades so as not to be readily
apparent from the facing street.
When reproducing elements that were originally part of a historic building they should be
replicated when evidence of the actual detail has been documented by photographs,
drawings, or remaining physical evidence. If no evidence ists® elements typical of the
architectural style may be used. Historic photographs can provide information on the
original elements of the building.
