M. A. Benton House, Victorian residence in Fort Worth, Texas
The M. A. Benton House stands as a one-and-a-half-story Victorian structure with intricate spindle work and cross gables over a hipped roof.
Built in 1898 by a Kansas City builder for tobacco seller Meredith A. Benton and his wife Ella Belle, this house remains one of Fort Worth's oldest residences.
The property earned recognition as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1971 and features on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit.
This private family residence, continuously owned by Benton descendants, maintains its original cypress construction and includes six rooms with a central hall layout.
Ella Belle Benton initiated the development of the Rose Gardens, now part of Fort Worth Botanic Garden, while residing in this historic house.
