historic place
The Eddleman-McFarland House is a historic place located in Fort Worth, Tarrant County. This Victorian house was built in 1899. English architect Howard Messer designed it for Sarah C. Ball, the widow of Galveston banker George Ball. William H. Eddleman, a local banker, purchased the home in 1904. In 1921, he gave the house to his daughter, Carrie Eddleman McFarland. Carrie McFarland, wife of cattleman Frank H. McFarland, resided in the house for 75 years. The house's exterior features marble, sandstone, brick, and copper. Its interior retains much of the original woodwork and fixtures. The Eddleman-McFarland House was entered into the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1980, the same year its historical marker was erected by the Texas Historical Commission. This site offers a glimpse into Fort Worth's architectural and family history from the turn of the 20th century.
