This large two-story brick house has a generally rectangular plan and hipped roof. It is a dignified composition consisting of a forward-projecting central bay with arcaded windows above and recessed arched entry below. A full terrace extends across the front. Attributed to architect L. B. Weinman, it was built c. 1903 as the residence of Morris Berney, a socially prominent businessman, and purchased several years later by Henry Clay Edrington. His grandson, philanthropist William Edrington Scott, was raised here. Scott endowed the William E. Scott Foundation, which funded the construction of Fort Worth’s Scott Theater. The Woman’s Club bought the property in 1929; it was named for a leader in the club. The building was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1966.
