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.
