In 1908, Bishop Dunne, Bishop of Dallas, sent Father Bernard H. Diamond to found a new parish in the southeast section of Fort Worth. The existing Mission Revival church was dedicated that year. It is a delicately scaled stucco-clad structure, gabled and buttressed, with Mission style parapets at each end. Windows are arched. A small gabled addition projects from the east side. The Holy Name Parish moved to a new location in 1952, at which time Our Mother of Mercy Parish moved here from Evans Avenue (see 1104 Evans Avenue and 801 Verbena Street). With more complete documentation of the building’s history and integrity, it may be eligible for the National Register on the basis of its architecture. The church building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 as a contributing resource in the Near Southeast Historic District. It is also within the boundaries of the Terrell Heights Historic District (local)
