History
The Vaught House at 718 W. Abram Street in Arlington was built for T. J. Trammell and purchased in 1907 by Alex and Selma Vaught, who lived along the interurban rail line that spurred Arlington's early-twentieth-century growth. The two-story wood and stucco American Foursquare house has a one-story porte cochere, a sunroom wing, and a full-height Classical Revival front porch. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
