The Mehl House is a large, formal house, rectangular in plan, clad in buff brick with cast stone trim and has a glazed green-tiled hipped roof. A two-story bay with ground-level breezeway projects to the south, balanced by a porte-cochere to the north. A massive, carefully designed chimney is on the street frontage. This was the house of B. Max Mehl, a successful and widely known numismatist (see 1228 S. Henderson/1204 W. Magnolia Avenue). The architect was Charles O. Chromaster, a designer in the office of Wiley G. Clarkson, who went on to establish his own practice. The house appears to be eligible for the National Register for its architectural quality and association with an individual important in the history of numismatics. The Mehl House was designated a City of Fort Worth Historic and Cultural Landmark in 1992.
