Fort Worth(フォートワース) (Tarrant County)
テキサス州北部に位置する町。I-35WとI-20の交差する場所にあります。1849年に付近に住む住人を原住民の襲撃から守る為の砦(Fort)が築かれ、メキシコとの戦いで英雄になった陸軍General William
Jenkins Worthから名づけられました。1853年に開拓圏の西への拡大に伴い引き払われた土地は住民が所有し、成長を始めました。危機は1873年に訪れ、延線される予定だった鉄道が経営危機の懸念からDallasでストップ。一時人口200人を下回り、町として機能するのに苦しい状況になりましたが、Fort
Worthに住む住人たちは諦めずに自分たちで作業をして敷設26マイルを権利の失効する1876年までに何とか完成させ、鉄道の乗り入れが可能になりました。後日1878年にArizonaのYumaと(Yuma
Stage Line)、1876年にはCaliforniaのSan Diegoと(Texas and Pacific鉄道)、1900年にはMKTなどのお陰でCotton Belt(綿産業ベルト)一帯と結ばれるようになりました。1930年代は石油、そしてBraniff
Airwaysやアメリカン航空(American Airlines)が運行を開始するようになりました。

on a lot adjacent to this home site. At that time many of the city's
wealthiest families were building impressive homes along Samuels
Avenue and the bluff of the Trinity River. The Garveys bought this
lot from the Fosters in 1883 and in 1884 built a small 1-story frame
residence. By the late 1890s they had enlarged the house to its
current 2-story Queen Anne style appearance. The house exhibits
hallmark features of the style, including asymmetrical massing,
porches, dormers, and beehive turrets.

B., bought the home in 1918. It was maintained by the Veihl family
until 1959, but was subsequently abandoned and in 1972 faced

lined Samuels Avenue at the turn of the century.
