1016 Egan Street- Tom W. and Maude Johnson House

This brick craftsman cottage is characterized by a small arched porch roof over the central door and side porch. Thomas Warren (1884-1969) and Maude (1886-1969) Johnson hired S. K. Withrow to build their Craftsman style home in 1923. The couple secured their house lot the same year as High School 2 was platted. While Maude’s parents were from the East Coast, she and Tom were Denton natives. Tom’s father was born in Ireland, married his mother from Missouri, and was a brick mason in Fort Worth. Tom worked for Acme Brick and purchased one of the first Buicks in Denton in 1905, prior to their wedding on October 27, 1906 in Denton. Prior to 1930, they sold their home to Mrs. W. T. Harris (nee Margaret Currie) the widow of a confederate veteran.
