It is nominated at the local level under Criterion A for Community Planning and Development and Criterion C for Architecture. It reconnects an integral part of the neighborhood's history with the existing district.","narrative":"This boundary extension adds about six acres at the northeastern corner of Fort Worth's Fairmount/Southside district, roughly bounded by Magnolia, Hemphill, Allen, Travis and Morphy. It contains retail buildings from the mid-1920s to early 1950s, two small bungalow-type houses, a club building, a community center and a c. 1921 Catholic school with Classical Revival influences. Most commercial buildings are simple one- or two-part load-bearing brick blocks, often with shops below and apartments above. The buildings grew up along streetcar lines serving the Southside after railroads and the meat packing industry drove the city's expansion. Examples include the Modern Drugs building, the LaCava Cleaners building, the Little Diner and the Laneri School, built by businessman John B. Laneri. Seven resources contribute and five do not, several because they were under 50 years old. The extension was added because the original boundaries omitted buildings that developed to serve the neighborhood between 1921 and 1948.","period_of_significance":"1921 - 1948","architect_builder":"Davies, J.B.
