Fort Worth architect John Wesley Jones designed this and three neighboring houses for his mother, Pearl N. Jones, and his sisters between 1948 and 1959. The four lots for the houses make up the Pearl Springs Addition, located in a secluded wooded area near the Fort Worth Zoo. This house is constructed of regular-coursed rough-cut stone and cedar shake shingles. The one-story L-shaped house has a large offset gabled bay on the façade. The windows are typically metal casements. The house had two garden rooms that were originally screened-in porches. The screens were replaced with multi-light sliding doors when air conditioning was installed in the house c. 1955. Jones frequently used stone in his residential designs of this era. With further documentation, this house and the neighboring ones may be eligible for the National Register of Historic Places for their architecture and as the work of John Wesley Jones.
