The houses show styles favored by Fort Worth's business and professional classes in the first decade of the 20th century, shaped by Prairie School, Arts and Crafts and Colonial Revival influences. It is significant locally for its early 20th century residential architecture.","narrative":"This one-block district on Fort Worth's Near South Side holds five houses built between about 1907 and 1909, four of which contribute to its character. It sits on Block 3 of the Edwards Heirs Addition, about two blocks south of Interstate 30, in an area once known as Quality Hill. Most of the grander homes nearby have been demolished as the neighboring medical district grew, leaving this block as the most intact residential group in the area. The houses are more modest than those that once lined 8th, Summit and Pennsylvania avenues, but they reflect housing popular with the city's business and professional classes. Prairie School, Arts and Crafts and Colonial Revival influences appear in the designs. The brick house at 600 8th Avenue was designed by the Fort Worth firm Sanguinet and Staats. Porch alterations at 608 8th Avenue in 1920 set the end of the period of significance. Most of the houses now serve commercial uses.","period_of_significance":"c. 1907-1920","architect_builder":"Sanguinet and Staats; Unknown; Koeppe, Paul","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century American Movements: Prairie School, Bungalow/Craftsman; Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Dutch Colonial Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Houses historically single-family dwellings; now used for professional commercial purposes.
