The Hines House is located at 207 S. Townville Street in Seneca. It’s a contributing property within the Seneca Historic District, which was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, with a boundary expansion in 1987. While detailed architectural records for the house aren’t readily available, the Seneca Historic District features a variety of late 19th- to early 20th-century domestic styles, including Victorian, Classical Revival, Bungalow/Craftsman, Tudor Revival, and American Foursquare. Given its era and neighborhood context, the Hines House likely follows one of these stylistic trends—possibly Victorian or Craftsman.

As part of the district’s collection of roughly 20 historical homes and 3 churches, it contributes to the architectural cohesion and historic narrative of Seneca’s growth from the late 1800s into the early 1900s. The district highlights Seneca’s transition from a railroad hub into a well-developed early 20th-century town
