ARCHITECTURE RESEARCH One-story hipped-roof house with a central hipped roof porch on Corinthian columns. The house is clad in horizontal wood siding. The front door and all windows have been replaced; the windows are obscured by solar screens. The house at 1401 Holly St. has had a series of short-term occupants. The first listed owners are Charles W. and Pearl L. Coons in 1918. Charles Coons worked as a yard clerk for the Houston & Texas Central Railway. Subsequent occupants held a variety of working-class jobs, including painter, driver, and line worker. Herman C. and Alma Hunter lived in the house between 1935 and 1939. Herman Hunter worked for Lone Star Wrecking Company. From 1947 through 1971, the house was owned by John G. and Eva Maxey. John Maxey was a roller operator and driver for the City Street & Bridge Department. In 1969, he moved a mobile home onto the lot and attached it to the rear of the house to create a duplex.
