This unique cross-gabled bungalow is constructed entirely of rubblestone and clinker brick. The gable of the portico has exposed timber trusses. The house was built c. 1915 for Mrs. Julia Martin, widow of Sidney Martin (1828-1903), a prominent Fort Worth merchant who had been president of the Martin-Brown Mercantile Co. She sold the house to Mrs. Belle Campbell in 1922 and moved to a newly constructed residence in the Cheltenham Addition the following year (2012 Pembroke Drive). Mrs. Campbell’s son and daughter-in-law resided here through the 1940s. August M. Campbell was vice president of the General Construction Co., recipient of many Fort Worth street-paving contracts. The bungalow is highly unusual in its use of materials. The Martin-Campbell House is a contributing resource in the Fairmount-Southside Historic District (local and national).
