Mansion #2

Sitting high on a hill  high above the Trinity River (once referred to as "Quality Hill) sits a Queen Ann mansion,

 built here in Fort Worth, Texas in 1899 for the widow of a very successful Galveston Banker and her adult son. Unfortunately the musician son passed away just two years later in 1901, and his mother in 1904. The next owner, again was a wealthy banker (and rancher), who moved here from Weatherford, Texas with his wife and one daughter.That daughter lived in the house until her death  in 1978 at the ripe old age of 100. So really only two families over the years have called this place home. Without further commentary I will show you the pictures that I took of the back of the house, side and interior.

Owned now by Historic Fort Worth
