This Arts and Crafts Mission Style home was built in 1915 by prominent civic leader James W. Simmons and his wife, Susan S. Gregg, granddaughter of Denton County pioneer Darius Gregg, founder of Gregg Ranch. Reminiscent of the Greggs' heritage, the house has an open floor plan, stucco walls, a sunroom, pocket doors, a Mission-Style parapet, a hemlock front door, and leaded glass windows. Col. F.W. and Alice "Louise" Maxwell purchased the home in 1948. Col. Maxwell, wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, was a decorated veteran of WWI and WWII. Louise received the top service award from the American Red Cross for volunteer work from 1918-1958.
