William J. Bryce House, “Fairview”

-A A +A
1893, Messer, Sanguinet and Messer. 4900 Bryce Ave.

A native of Scotland, Bryce was a prominent brick contractor and mayor of Fort Worth. Chateauesque, with Richardsonian arches, his house in the Arlington Heights subdivision exemplifies the romantic but also substantive construction considered appropriate for late-nineteenth-century wealth. The carriage house and iron fence are original. Massive stone lintels and a beautifully carved stone spandrel panel with rolling floral motif enhance the casual elegance of the facade.
