Originally addressed on Hemphill Street, it now carries the address 801 West Shaw Street. Its Late Gothic Revival design includes gabled parapet bays, battlements, buttresses, lancet-arched chapel windows and limestone trim. A chapel wing forms the leg of a modified T-plan, and a one-story home economics addition was added at the rear in 1948. The academy later also operated as a college. Its music department drew guest artists and taught piano, organ and violin, and during World War II it offered science courses for cadet nurses training at St. Joseph's Hospital. Enrollment reached 400 students by 1941. The building kept much of its architectural integrity, though the stained glass chapel windows were sold in 1991. It has since been rehabilitated as loft apartments, studios and caterer space, and it was nominated as locally significant.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Late Gothic Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Recently rehabilitated into loft apartments, studio space for the creative community, and space for a commercial caterer.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:22.987128-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/36/9735/40973536/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/04000886.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000886/5d57d859c3-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/04000886/5d57d859c3-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ourladyofvictory1.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:Ourladyofvictory1.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40973536","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_Victory_Academy_(Fort_Worth,_Texas)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7110984"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/tarrant-county/our-lady-of-victory-academy-04000886/"}
