In the 1890s, several houses were built with related characteristics: corner towers or turrets, complex roof systems that were either multiple gable roofs or a combination gable and hip roof, generous porches, and, making their first appearance, slightly projecting entrance porticos-a detail that was to become a common feature on Hillsboro houses of all sizes in the early 20th century.
An Example of these late 19th-century houses in the Residential Historic District is the E.S. Davis House on Corsicana.
