A couple weeks ago, I went on a Meetup.com group outing to tour a couple Cattle Baron mansions in Fort Worth. It was about 150 degrees outside, but we braved the heat! Man, cattle really made some people rich, because these cattle baron mansions were INCREDIBLE!One of the houses didn't allow photography, so all of my pics on this post came from the other house (see below).
There were just gorgeous views from the porch.....
From the front steps....
Very intricate ceilings - all in perfect condition:
The front parlor on the left and the back parlor on the right....
Look at the crazy amount of detail on the floors! This was the hallway on the left, leading into the dining room on the right.
A real live 'dumb waiter' - and they still use it when they are hosting a party or having a wedding catered in the kitchen.
The entryway/foyer and the 'receiving room'......
A view of the wraparound porch from inside the back parlor...
Awesome wood floors - they used ebony and a few other kinds of wood to make this room's flooring...
The main hallway downstairs.....the woodwork was absolutely stunning!
Beautiful staircase to the 2nd floor....
Can you imagine having this front porch?? It even wraps around the side of the house - soooo beautiful!
Here are the girls in front of my favorite tree in the south - the crape myrtle.
