Wharton–Scott House, also known as Thistle Hill, is a historic mansion in Fort Worth, Texas.

Location

The mansion is located on 1509 Pennsylvania Avenue in the neighborhood of Quality Hill in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas.[2]

History

The mansion was built from 1903 to 1904 for Electra Waggoner, the daughter of William Thomas Waggoner and heiress of the Waggoner Ranch, and her husband, Albert Buck Wharton.[2][3] It was designed by Sanguinet & Staats in the Georgian Revival architectural style.[2] The house is two and a half stories with a gambrel roof.[4] Projecting bays on each side of the home use semi-circular elements. The brick house is trimmed in cast stone and the sloped roof is green tile.[4] The interior features a grand staircase and elaborate woodwork.[4] The grounds are fenced with brick walls and ornamental iron.[4] A carriage house is located on the rear of the property.[4]

In 1911, local businessman and cattle baron Winfield Scott purchased the house from the Whartons.[2][3] Scott renovated the home and the grounds at the time.[4]

In 1940, the mansion was acquired by the Girls Service League of Fort Worth.[2] The house was then empty from 1968 to 1975.[2] A year later, in 1976, a preservation non-profit organization called Save-the-Scott purchased the house and restored it.[2]

On January 1, 2006, Historic Fort Worth, Inc. took possession of the house and has devoted time and resources toward further restoration.[4] The home continues to be rented for weddings and receptions.[4]

Heritage significance

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 14, 1975.[4]
