Inspiration Point Shelter House
historic place
The Inspiration Point Shelter House is a historic place in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas. This open-air pavilion was built in 1927. It stands on a limestone bluff within Marion Sansom Park, overlooking the Lake Worth dam, an old fish hatchery, and the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base. The structure was designed in a style known as National Park Service Rustic or Parkitecture, and was constructed primarily of limestone. The design of the shelter is attributed to the firm of E.W. Van Slyke and Company. On December 22, 1973, a fire destroyed the original roof. The pavilion underwent restoration in 2011. The Inspiration Point Shelter House was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 2014. The specific text from a historical marker for this site is not available.
