Clarke House – Hemphill

This one and one-half story wood-framed house has a combination of hipped and gabled roofs. A hipped porch projects forward, supported by brick piers with ornate cast stone cartouches. The entry has superb stained-glass sidelights and transom. The house was built c. 1910 for George C. Clarke, listed in city directories as a “promoter of townsites.” With restoration and further documentation, it may be eligible for the National Register. The front porch deck has been removed. George C. Clarke (1871-1935) also served on the school board from 1913 to 1916 and was president of the board when the school that bears his name was constructed in 1914 at 3300 S. Henderson. He also served as Parks Superintendent for the City of Fort Worth.
