Ball-Eddleman-McFarland House

One of the most important days in a person’s life is their wedding day. The perfect venue, under the perfect setting surrounded by the people that we love and care most about. Ball Eddleman McFarland House is a beautiful place to hold your wedding that offers a quaint homey feeling that’ll make every one of your guest feel at home and invited. However, be prepared to do everything yourself. The people that are there will not lift one finger to assist in anything for the bride, groom or guests. Be prepared to clean everything from top to bottom including making sure the rugs were in the same spot as when you first walked in the door. For the price of what you pay to rent this venue you’re better off looking at other historical landmarks in and around Fort Worth that will offer you so much more as far as service is concerned. Also, be prepared to provide everything for your wedding from tables, to chairs to linens as well as staff hovering over your wedding and reception like hawks looking at prey. Additionally, if you do choose to have your wedding and reception there be sure and ask as many questions as you can prior. In our experience things changed on us down to the week of our wedding thanks to their staff that apparently told our caterers one thing then changing their minds by way of last minute «research» to clarify things up.

For $ 15 you can tour two restored turn of the century houses of old Fort Worth,
Thistle Hill and Ball-​Eddleman McFarland House.
This area was called «quality hill» back then and only a few houses survived as hospital buildings and parking lots unfairly took over. This Victorian era house survived in it’s mint condition perhaps because the widowed childless daughter that lived in it her entire life died at the age of 100 in 1978.
The impressive woodwork, stain glass and history alone are worth the sometimes prissy
30 minute tour.
