The King House is a two-story wood-framed structure clad in shingle and channel rustic siding. It has a rectangular plan. A gabled section projects slightly from the hipped mass of the house, overhanging a recessed porch supported by tapering posts on a stone base. Tax records indicate that a house may have existed on this site as early as 1895. The present structure probably dates from about 1905, soon after the property was purchased by William B. King. King was a prominent businessman, general manager both of the Fort Worth Stock Yards Co. and of the Fort Worth Beltline Railway Co. He resided in this house until his death in 1915; his family retained ownership until the 1960s. The house may be eligible for the National Register following more precise documentation of its integrity and of King’s role in Fort Worth affairs.
The King House was designated as Demolition Delay in 1995.
