913 Panhandle Street- Cora E. and A.S. Keith House

Albert Sidney (1873-1946) and Cora Ellen (1876-1954) Keith hired S. Clyde Carpenter to build their home in 1924. Albert was born in Argyle, earned degrees from the North Texas State Normal and Texas Christian University, and taught in public schools in Lingelville and Greenwood before serving as school superintendent in Tioga. He was principal at Pilot Point until 1913 when he advanced as superintendent. In 1917 he moved to Denton to become principal and mathematics teacher at the North Texas State Normal training school, the teacher preparation school at the college, from which he retired in 1941. The Keiths lived in this house until 1928. The porch has been infilled but with the tapered box columns on brick piers intact, along with the original porte cochere and geometric gable motif.
