About the Butler Place Historic District
Butler Place Historic District, located at 1201 I M Terrell Circle South in Fort Worth, Texas, is a significant part of the city's history and culture. This former public housing community, built in 1939, is now vacant after residents were relocated through a HUD program. The City of Fort Worth and Fort Worth Housing Solutions have negotiated an agreement to preserve parts of the neighborhood for future generations. The district is bounded by major highways near downtown Fort Worth.
As part of the proposed agreement, a 6.5-acre outdoor amphitheater will be developed on a hillside next to the I.M. Terrell Academy campus. Additionally, plans are in place for a Fort Worth African American museum and cultural center. Red bricks from the Butler Place property will be used for a public art installation on site.
The Fort Worth City Cable Channel will be offline for a few weeks starting March 11, but City Council Meetings and other events can still be viewed on the City's YouTube channel. Accommodations are available for residents with accessibility needs. The Tarrant County Black Historical and Genealogical Society and Historic Fort Worth are also involved in the preservation efforts.

Reviews of Butler Place Historic District
"This was a very interesting accidental find. It is currently abandoned and boarded up for the most part. Currently, the City of Fort Worth is planning the future of the land and is supposedly saving some of the bricks for an art installation down the road. I personally hope that as many materials are repurposed as possible so the stories of life in this neighborhood live on."
"We have created a brand-new Foundation with absolutely nothing yet (FUNDS, BUILDING, ECT.) to help the less Fortunate and we are just getting started and I have driven by this place a lot on the bridge next to it and 2 days ago it was put in my heart (holy spirit) to look into this place. Our new Foundation will be to someday hopefully take in the homeless and let them come and go but the ones that want to stay and retrain them into the HVAC industry and using this as part of a resume to get back into the working society. We just need a lot of prayers by everyone to get this to take off."
"Very cool piece of history right to the east of downtown ft worth!"
"Unique piece of Fort Worth history!"
