Thistle Hill
1509 Pennsylvania Ave, Fort Worth, TX 76104, USA- Spaces for 250 Guests
Thistle Hill is the most spectacular cattle baron era estate that has been preserved, and it is also one of the most prominent residential landmarks in Fort Worth. Thistle Hill is a Georgian Revival home that exemplifies the architectural magnificence of Fort Worth's affluent pioneers. The neighborhood where it is located was formerly known as Quality Hill. In the year 1904, Albert Buckman Wharton, Jr. and his wife Electra Waggoner Wharton, who was the daughter of a wealthy cattleman named W.T. Waggoner, moved into this home that was 11,000 square feet and included 18 rooms. The home was remodeled by Sanguinet and Staats in 1911, after Elizabeth and Winfield Scott bought the estate for $90,000 and commissioned them to do so. The original house had been designed by Sanguinet and Staats. The primary bulk of the house is a gambrel-roofed structure that is two and one-half stories tall and has semi-circular bays on either side. The mansion is accentuated by towering chimneys as well as a massive porch that has limestone columns. The roof is covered in glossy green tiles, and the walls are elaborately framed in cast stone. The outside is red brick. The foyer welcomes guests with a grand staircase and abundant woodwork as two of its prominent features. The enclosed gardens of 1.5 acres, which include a magnificent carriage house, have been preserved. In 1975, the home was included in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1977, it was recognized as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark, and in 1978, it became the first Historic and Cultural Landmark in Fort Worth.

We can fulfill your wishes whether you want to say "I do" in the fields or the forests, or indoors with air conditioning. A big covered porch adjoins a 30'x80' turf area with string lights hanging overhead in our 35-foot barn. The 3600-square-foot grand room, entryway, big prep kitchen, and lovely bridal suite are all located on the lower level. The groom's suite and office, as well as a balcony overlooking the great chamber, are located upstairs. At Old Bethany, every detail is carefully considered. Shiplap was used on the walls and the ceiling was painted white. The grassy space is great for ceremonies, parties, dances, and whatever else you can think of. The main chamber, which is unadorned because it does not require anything, has large windows that let in plenty of natural light, making it ideal for photographs — the chandeliers dangle overhead for a final touch, like a lovely necklace on a bride. The wood flooring are ideal for dancing or simply looking. The pure-white stairwell with black iron railing encourages you to ascend. I'm sure many brides fluffed their gowns for wedding photos here at Old Bethany. You have access to the premises from 9:00 a.m. to midnight, 350 chairs and 35 tables, a venue organizer on site, a security guard, and various possibilities for your event, both inside and out.
