Polk House – Alta

This large Tudor Revival house on a prominent lot facing River Crest Country Club was constructed about 1919 for George W. Polk, an attorney at law and vice-president of Texas Anchor Fence Co. The two and one-half story house, attributed to architect Wiley G. Clarkson, is in composition a cross-gabled T-plan. The first floor is clad in dark brick veneer; upper stories sport exterior walls of half-timbering with stucco infill. The house has recently been altered.
