One of the premier residential landmarks of Fort Worth, Thistle Hill is the most impressive surviving mansion of the “cattle baron” era. The main wing of the house is a two and one-half story gambreled mass with flanking semi-circular bays. Tall chimneys and an immense portico with Tuscan columns accentuate the vertical thrust of the composition. Red brick walls are sumptuously rimmed in cast stone; roofs are clad in lustrous green tile. Interior features include entry hall with grand staircase and extensive woodwork. The fenced grounds, including a very fine carriage house, have survived. The house was designed by Sanguinet & Staats and built in 1903-1904. The property was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1977, and has been placed on the National Register.
