A hundred and two years ago somebody built a Craftsman bungalow about seventy five feet from Traders Oak — the live oak on the Texas A&M Forest Service’s list of the Famous Trees of Texas, and the tree Tarrant County held its first election behind in 1850.

Seventy five feet. Not down the road, not around the corner — you can stand on the back deck and look at it.

The house is still there. In 2021 it went through the kind of restoration old houses rarely get — new mechanical systems, twenty-one windows, the floor plan updated — and the front of it still reads the way it always did. Deep porch, brick columns, one story.

Out the back gate is the park, the playground, the walking path, & Traders Oak.

It’s for sale and I’m the one selling it, so take that for what it’s worth. But I’d have written about the tree either way.

You don’t have to care about the house to go stand under that tree. It’s a public park, and it’s open right now.

Fort Worth's north end in 1886, drawn by a man from Milwaukee named Henry Wellge who travelled the country making bird's-eye views of American towns. He worked from an imaginary point in the air — close enough to be useful, composed enough to sell.

Second picture is the same ground last week, from a drone, framed as near to his as I could manage.

The river is still there. The road is still there, under a different name. Almost nothing else in the top picture survives.

That long oval in the 1886 drawing is a harness-racing track — the Fort Worth Driving Park, opened 1883, grandstand and sulkies on the dirt. Just west of it is a dance pavilion that opened in 1885 at the end of the streetcar line. Five hundred people came the first night for a fourteen-piece band. It was gone by 1909.

Two of the houses on that street are still standing. Most of them aren't.

There's a live oak in a small park on the north end of Fort Worth that the Texas A&M Forest Service lists among the Famous Trees of Texas. Most people who live in this city have never stood under it.

It's called Traders Oak. In 1849 the Army wouldn't allow trading within a mile of the fort, so Henry Clay Daggett and Archibald Leonard measured off the mile, stopped at this tree and the spring beside it, and built a log cabin behind it. The next year Tarrant County held its first election there, and its first district court.

My favorite part: that first election is the one Fort Worth lost. The county seat went up the road to Birdville. We got it back later, but the vote under this tree went against this town.

Nobody will tell you how old the tree is, either. The city parks department, the state forestry service, a published Fort Worth historian and the granite marker in the grass beside it all tell the story. Not one of them will put a number on the tree.

It's a public park with two benches. You can go stand under it this afternoon.

I'm selling a 1924 house that backs up to this park, and I've been in the deed books on it for a month:

A 1924 bungalow on ground a widow platted in 1911. The deeds, the plat, the 1938 assessor's card and the 2021 restoration, read in order.

The mature trees framing the front of this home are what catch your eye first. But what’s already been done to this Keller home may be the better story.

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Country Hill Estates, 1057 Oak Valley Ct has the space and character you expect from an established neighborhood — a big yard, mature shade trees, two living areas, two dining areas, and more than 2,100 SF of comfortable living space.

But here’s what I really like about this one: the expensive projects aren’t waiting for the next owner.

The foundation has been professionally repaired by Structured Foundation and comes with a transferable warranty. The HVAC was updated in 2024, the roof has been replaced in 2016, the landscaping has been refreshed, & the home has been cleaned out and prepared for its next owner.

Inside, you’ll find a bright, open kitchen with granite countertops and a breakfast bar overlooking the family room, a split-bedroom layout, & a spacious primary suite. Step outside to the covered patio overlooking a large, open backyard with plenty of room for entertaining, pets, play, gardening, or whatever you want to make of the space.

3 bedrooms | 2 baths | 2,123 SF | Keller ISD | No HOA

📍 1057 Oak Valley Ct, Keller

If you’ve been looking for an established Keller neighborhood without taking on somebody else’s list of major projects, this one deserves a look.

COMING SOON | 1013 Poindexter St | Fort Worth

There are old Fort Worth homes. And then there are homes where Fort Worth history is literally out the back door.

Behind this lovingly restored 1924 Craftsman stands Traders Oak — a 250+ year-old live oak recognized among the Famous Trees of Texas & part of the birthplace story of Tarrant County. Henry Clay Daggett & Archibald Leonard opened one of Fort Worth's earliest trading posts beneath this tree in 1849, & Tarrant County held its first election & first court there the following year.

And the house has a pretty great story of its own.

Restored in 2021, it offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, two primary suites, beautiful white oak floors, natural woodwork & built-ins, a gorgeous kitchen, & those deep front & back porches an old Fort Worth house ought to have.

Out back? A deck overlooking Traders Oak Park, with the oak itself just beyond the yard.

No house behind you. No HOA. Minutes from downtown, the Stockyards & the Trinity Trails.

Offered at $499,900.

Coming Soon now. Showings begin October 5.

Some places give you history to visit. This one puts it in your backyard.
