Eddleman鈥揗cFarland House, Fort Worth

Built in 1899, the Eddleman鈥揗cFarland House is a well-preserved example of Queen Anne-style Victorian architecture. Originally commissioned by Sarah Ball and designed by architect Howard Messer, the house stands on a bluff above the Trinity River in what was once known as Quality Hill鈥攁 neighborhood that once featured several large homes of Fort Worth鈥檚 Cattle Baron families. After Ball鈥檚 death, the house was purchased in 1904 by William Eddleman, founder of the Western National Bank.

The exterior combines brick, sandstone, and marble, with features such as turrets, gables, copper finials, and a red sandstone porch. Inside, the home retains original design elements, including coffered ceilings, parquet floors, and carved oak and mahogany mantles. Visitors can explore the house through scheduled tours or participate in interactive events such as "Murder on Quality Hill," an immersive mystery game staged throughout the rooms.
