Purchase a Piece of Fort Worth History
March 12, 2008
If you are looking to purchase a piece of Fort Worth TX Real Estate that is steeped in local history, look no further than the magnificent Reeves-Walker House. Built in 1908 for the founder of First Fort Worth Bank and Trust, this Victorian mansion offers 9300 square feet of beautifully restored office or living space. It was sold in 1917 to the president of the Walker Grain Company, James L. Walker, who owned the property for fifty years. Upon its sale in 1967 it served as a funeral home, and since the mid-1980’s has been used as business offices.
Modern Amenities Offered in an Old Classic
As part of this beautiful building’s restoration, it has been upgraded to include modern amenities such as zoned heating and air conditioning, upgraded electrical service that can handle modern technology, a security system, and automatic sprinklers for the 1.2 acres of lush grounds that surround the structure.
A brick driveway provides access to a parking lot that has a capacity to hold 18 automobiles, and the entire property is fenced. A carriage house at the rear of the property offers an additional 2,400 square feet of usable space, and the main structure includes a full basement.
The grand entrance of the main floor includes a beautiful herringbone patterned hardwood floor and expansive 14 foot ceilings. The large private office on the ground floor is equipped with two fireplaces, as is the conference room. The second floor offers six offices. The original ballroom is currently being used as a library but could be converted into another large office.
This magnificent piece of Fort Worth Real Estate is recorded as a Texas Historic Landmark, and is conveniently located among the other grand historic homes of Fort Worth’s Fairmount-Southside Historic District.
