About this property

The Bowers–Felts House on Lotus Lane in Lufkin, Texas was designed by architect Shirley Simons and was built c. 1928–1937. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. It is a two-story masonry Tudor Revival-style house that is felt to be one of the best examples of Shirley Simons' works in that style. It is one of several Tudor Revival buildings designed by Simons in Lufkin; other NRHP-listed ones are the C. W. Perry Archie–Hallmark House, the A. F. Perry and Myrtle–Pitmann House, and the Houston Brookshire–Yeates House (1920).
