House – 815 Bennett Street

815 Bennett Street [SAHD(NR)], House, c. 1900.  The history of this charming turn-of-the-century house is unclear.  The land was owned by the Wall family from the 1880s through 1961, but appears to have been rental property for most of that time.  Research by the Tarrant County Historical Commission indicates that the house may have been moved to this site about 1920 by the Wall family, possibly from 748 Samuels Ave.  The L-plan house is distinguished by its delicate porch and window screens, reminiscent of stick-style detailing.  The house contributes to the proposed Samuels Avenue National Register Historic District, and is part of the 1991 Multiple Property nomination.
