Steps from the back door of this lovingly restored Craftsman, you’ll find Traders Oak — a live oak listed by the Texas A&M Forest Service among the Famous Trees of Texas. In 1849 Henry Clay Daggett & Archibald Leonard opened a mercantile store in a log cabin behind this tree, a mile from the fort. Tarrant County’s first election for county officers was held at that store the following year, & the county’s first district court convened there. The house itself dates to 1924, on a lot shown on the 1911 revised plat of Holloway Addition, back when Poindexter was still called Pearl Street. Then came 2021, & the kind of restoration old houses rarely get. City permit records document new HVAC & ductwork, electrical, plumbing, 21 replacement windows, new interior & exterior doors, & a substantial reworking of the floor plan. Additionally, the sellers invested in a new 30-year roof, wood-lap siding, exterior insulation, foundation leveling, & new decking on expansive front & back porches. The character they kept may be the best part. White oak floors run through much of the home, alongside natural woodwork, board & batten, built-ins, & the kind of deep, full-width porches an old Fort Worth house ought to have. The kitchen belongs here — white cabinetry, a navy island topped in butcher block, gas range & stainless hood, opening straight into the dining & living spaces. Four bedrooms & three full baths are all on one level, including two primary suites with en-suite baths & walk-in showers, plus a common bath with a freestanding soaking tub & marble-top vanity. There’s a mudroom, a dedicated utility room, & out back a deck looking onto the park & the oak itself. No house behind you. No HOA. Minutes from downtown, the Stockyards & the Trinity Trails — though this isn’t a house you buy for what’s nearby. Some places give you history to visit. This one puts it in your backyard.
