Sanguinet, Marshall R., House
Why it's listed
Built in 1894 at 4729 Collinwood Avenue in Fort Worth, this two-story house combines red pressed brick with wood shingles in an asymmetrical design influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement. Architect Marshall R. Sanguinet designed it as his own home after fire damaged his first house on the site, which was the first built in the Arlington Heights subdivision. The rebuilt house used more masonry than the earlier frame residence. In 1906 Sanguinet added a porte cochere and a one-story dining room with a built-in buffet influenced by Craftsman furniture. The interior reflects the open planning of its period. Sanguinet was among the most successful Texas architects between 1885 and 1926, and his firm designed the Flatiron Building and the Neil P. Anderson Building in Fort Worth. The house was listed for its restrained, largely unornamented design, which contrasts with the Colonial Revival houses typical of Texas at the time. It remains a private residence and is in excellent condition.
Significance in brief: The nomination presents it as an intact Texas example of turn-of-the-century progressive domestic design influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement. Its plain contrast of pressed brick and shingles and its open interior differ from the Colonial Revival houses typical of the period. It was also designed by Sanguinet, a prominent Fort Worth architect.

What listing means for this property
National Register listing is honorary for a privately owned home: it does not by itself restrict what an owner may do with their own money, and it does not require public access. Restrictions come from local landmark or historic-district ordinances, which are separate (how they differ).
Owner-occupied houses are not eligible for the 20% federal rehabilitation tax credit, which applies to income-producing buildings, but many states offer credits for homeowners. Listing also opens the door to preservation easements and to buying a plaque. Start with what listing means for homeowners, renovating a listed house and selling one.
General information, not legal or tax advice. Rules change; confirm with your State Historic Preservation Office or a qualified adviser.
