Wharton-Scott House
Wharton-Scott House, Colonial Revival mansion in Fort Worth, United States.
The Wharton-Scott House is a two-and-a-half-story mansion with a gambrel roof and Georgian Revival details, built of brick with refined cast stone trim. The property sits on Pennsylvania Avenue and includes the main residence, a preserved carriage house, and grounds enclosed by brick walls.
The house was built from 1903 to 1904 for Electra Waggoner and Albert Buck Wharton, two important names in Fort Worth society. It later passed to cattle baron Winfield Scott in 1911, whose name became part of its identity.
The mansion shows how prosperous Texas families of the early 1900s lived, with tall rooms and grounds that reflected their place in society. The design reveals the taste and wealth that mattered to established families of that era.
The property sits on Pennsylvania Avenue and now functions as an event venue for weddings and receptions. Visitors should know that the building is sometimes in use for private events and may not always be accessible for general touring.
The property preserves ornamental iron details throughout the grounds and structure that reflect early 1900s craftsmanship. These decorative metalwork pieces are often overlooked but show the quality of work that went into such homes of that period.
