Pollock and remodeled in 1910.","why_significant":"It is one of two remaining 19th century residences in the former \"Quality Hill\" neighborhood, once lined with Victorian mansions of cattlemen and businessmen. It reflects Fort Worth's prosperity after the railroad made the city a cattle industry center. It is also a late example of the Queen Anne style.","narrative":"Built in 1898 at 1120 Penn Street in Fort Worth, this Queen Anne style house sits on a bluff above the Trinity River. It was constructed of red Roman brick for Dr. Joseph R. Pollock, a homeopathic physician, and is probably the work of architect Howard Messer. The two-and-a-half-story house has a slate and tile roof, shingled gables, towers, dormers, and stained and leaded glass. In 1910 attorney William Capps bought it and remodeled it, enclosing the porch, adding bedrooms, a bath, a conservatory and a porte-cochere, and panelling the living room in mahogany. The house is one of two surviving 19th century residences from \"Quality Hill,\" a neighborhood of mansions built for cattlemen and businessmen. Its companion is the neighboring Ball-McFarland-Eddleman House. The house reflects the wealth that came to Fort Worth after the railroad made it a cattle center, and it keeps much of the neighborhood's Victorian character.","period_of_significance":"19th Century (specific date 1898, altered 1910)","architect_builder":"Probably Howard Messer, an English architect (attribution uncertain)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne","criteria":[],"status_note":"Listed as vacant, in fair condition and altered; Historic Fort Worth, Inc. planned to restore it as a house museum, though a later note says this plan was dropped and an architecture firm bought it for its own use.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:19.058273-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/23/9734/40973423/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/72001372.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72001372/12ec84b364-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/72001372/12ec84b364-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:PollockCappsHouse.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:PollockCappsHouse.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40973423","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollock%E2%80%93Capps_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7225707"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/tarrant-county/pollock-capps-house-72001372/"}
