The Bomar Apartments
is a three-story structure and is rectangular in plan. It is
wood-framed with brick veneer.
A two-story brick portico extends across the front, with a
third story of wood construction. The
apartments were listed in city directories variously as the “Bomar,”
“Bonner” and “Banner Apartments.” The correct name was probably
“Bomar,” for David T. Bomar (1861-1917), a prominent Fort Worth
attorney, banker, and realtor who developed the nearby Swastika
Place subdivision. This
subdivision is a part of the Fairmount neighborhood, which is listed
as a National Register and City of Fort Worth Historic District.
The apartments were purchased in 2010 and restoration began
shortly thereafter. The
building reopened for tenants in October 2011.
