143 1011 Samuels Avenue [NR*/SAHD(NR)], Heaton-Simmons- Strohl House, c. 1898-1901. This house was probably built between 1898 and 1901 for William S. Heaton, a notary public with the real estate firm of Heaton, Bury & Co. Heaton sold the house in 1906 to Daniel Price Simmons, a mule dealer in the Fort Worth stockyards. Simmons and the well known mule dealer Charles B. Team were partners in the Simmons-Team Mule Co. In 1916 the property was sold by Sheriff’s Deed to Harry C. Strohl, who apparently died shortly thereafter. His wife, Constance, lived here and owned the house until 1964. This large L-plan wood frame house has been altered by the addition of asbestos siding. By its size and scale, the house complements nearby houses on Samuels Avenue and is part of the potential National Register Historic District. With the removal of the asbestos siding and further restoration and .maintenance, the house would probably be eligible for the National Register on an individual basis.
