Adams. The property also includes a connected garage/servants quarters, two fountains, sandstone walls and tile walkways.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is an early and rare example of the Monterey style with Spanish Colonial Revival details in Fort Worth. It is the only pre-1930 Monterey style house identified among about 1800 surveyed properties in nine south Fort Worth subdivisions. It also reflects the oil-driven growth of Park Hill, where independent oil operators like Thomas Shaw settled.","narrative":"Built in spring 1927 by master builder Bert B. Adams, this stucco house with a red ceramic tile roof sits at 2404 Medford Court East in Fort Worth's Park Hill Addition, a curving-street subdivision planned by the Kansas City firm Hare and Hare. It was among the first houses built there. Its L-shaped plan, low-pitched gable roof, second-story balcony with wrought iron railing, arched openings, decorated chimney cap and enclosed entrance courtyard show the Monterey style with Spanish Colonial Revival details. A survey of about 1800 properties in south Fort Worth found no other Monterey style house from before 1930. Thomas Shaw, an independent oil operator who founded T.G. Shaw Oil, and his wife Marjorie bought the house in 1927, when Park Hill attracted many young oil families. Later changes, including replaced balcony railings, single-pane fanlights and a 1970s connecting addition, are described as minimal and reversible. The house remains a single-family home.","period_of_significance":"1927 - 1940","architect_builder":"Adams, Bert B.
