Daggett Avenue in Fort Worth's Near Southside, Tarrant County, Texas, built in 1910. They contain 14 units in total, and two concrete hitching posts are counted as contributing objects.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the apartments are an excellent example of an early 20th century apartment complex in the Near South Side and a good expression of Prairie School-inspired design applied to apartment buildings. They were built during a population boom, and most apartment buildings of that era in Fort Worth are gone. The Markeen is the only survivor among the apartments built in the area burned by the 1909 fire.","narrative":"Two matching brick apartment buildings at St. Louis and Daggett avenues in Fort Worth's Near Southside were built in 1910. One faces Daggett with eight units and the other faces St. Louis with six. Their Prairie School-inspired design includes parapets imitating hipped roofs covered in pressed metal tiles, wide boxed eaves, three-sided bay windows and two-tiered porches with wood balustrades. Interiors keep pine floors, pocket doors, butler's pantries and early speaking tubes beside the entrances. The complex rose as Fort Worth's population grew from about 26,700 in 1900 to more than 73,000 in 1910, and it was built in an area affected by the 1909 South Side fire. Other apartment buildings from that period nearby have been demolished, leaving this one as the survivor. The buildings were listed for their architectural value as a well-preserved early apartment complex. At the time of the nomination they stood vacant while a tax credit rehabilitation retained the historic room layouts, doors, windows and woodwork.","period_of_significance":"1910","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century American Movements: Prairie School","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Listed current function is vacant, with rehabilitation work in progress as a certified rehabilitation tax credit project.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:23.803118-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/19/9734/40973419/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/01000470.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000470/a5460de071-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/01000470/a5460de071-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MarkeenApts1.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MarkeenApts1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40973419","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markeen_Apartments","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14711016"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/tarrant-county/markeen-apartments-01000470/"}
