Fairmount-Southside Historic District

Fairmount-Southside Historic District is a large residential neighborhood in Fort Worth with streets lined by homes in neoclassical style and late Victorian design. The area contains many different houses built by various builders and owners over several decades.

The district was established between 1883 and 1907 during a period of rapid growth in Fort Worth when many new homes were built. This era was important for the development of the southern part of the city.

The Southside Masonic Lodge and several historic homes show what architectural styles the early residents of Fort Worth preferred for their properties. These buildings reflect how the wealthier residents of the area chose to live and build.

The neighborhood is best explored on foot since the streets are compact and easy to walk through. Visitors should allow time to walk slowly and observe the different houses and architectural details along the way.

The neighborhood is the largest historically designated residential area in the southwestern United States. It brings together twenty different subdivisions that together form one large historic area.
