Shelton-Houghton House - Amarillo, TX - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The house is also a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and a 1980 Texas Historical Marker provides some background:

This two-story residence was constructed in 1914 for Kentucky native John Malcolm Shelton (1852-1923), a prominent Panhandle cattleman and businessman. Built by W.M. Rice, it was designed by Amarillo architect Joseph Champ Berry. Following Shelton's death, the house was inherited by his daughter Martha, the wife of rancher Ted Houghton. She resided here until 1965. Built of brick, the home features detailing of the Prairie Style.

Notable is that this is one of the many works of J.C. Berry, "The Dean of Amarillo Architecture", who designed many schools, homes, and commercial buildings not only in the Texas Panhandle, but also in New Mexico and Oklahoma. Several of his courthouses survive in the Panhandle as well.
