Nice write-up, John. Can you disclose who the current owner is?

Nice article but horrible news. Let's see...built over a century ago and attributed to FW's premier architectural firm of Sanguinet & Staats; inspired by the Greene Bros. iconic Gamble House in Pasadena; former residence of Fort Worth legend Amon G. Carter; Presidential guests; strong historical connections to the origins of Rivercrest. With such an illustrious history and provenance it's soon becoming a museum house, right? No...its being bulldozed into oblivion. Way to go, Fort Worth!

Must not be big enough to keep up with the McMansions nearby. It's tough to be a 1%-er!

The stairs in the doomed house were the setting for these paintings.
