Butler Place Historic District
Butler Place Historic District, Public housing complex in Fort Worth, United States.
Description
Butler Place Historic District is a residential development in Fort Worth featuring Colonial Revival brick buildings laid out across land between downtown and major highways. The structures create a cohesive neighborhood with consistent architectural character throughout the area.
History
The district was established in 1941 by the Fort Worth Housing Authority as one of 52 federal housing projects created during the Great Depression. Its founding represented a significant moment in the city's approach to affordable housing.

The district takes its name from Henry Harrison Butler, a Civil War veteran who became Fort Worth's first African American teacher. His legacy remains central to the identity of this residential community.

The district is located near Interstate 30, Interstate 35W, and US Highway 287, making it easy to reach by car. The I.M. Terrell Academy on its southern edge serves as a helpful orientation point.
