MEMORANDUM
TO: Historical Preservation Committee Members
FROM: Dianne McWethy, Assistant City Manager
DATE: May 17, 2000
SUBJECT: Historical Plaques
I have attached information from Lila Coley concerning historical markers. This
information consists of cards prepared in 1983 under the direction of the Texas
Historical Commission (THC). These are 18 sites that THC felt worthy of
consideration. Each card has the location and description of the site along with a
brief history. According to Ms. Coley, many, if not most, of the residences
surveyed are no longer standing in CoIleyville, with one being moved to
Grapevine.
The committee will need to develop a plan of action for the placement of
historical plaques at these sites, including a budget for ordering and installation
of markers,
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at
577.7589, extension 204.

This house was built in 1914 in thp. now vanished community of
Bransford on the site of a house of similar ril:!Sign which had
burned. John R. Webb, the owner, came to Bransford in 1895 and in
1897 began working as a section IIBIl fo.r the Cottonb..~1t Railroad.
He was lmown as the unoffical "lmyor" of Bransford. Tht:! hoose, nON
clad in asbestos siding, stands next to the railroad tracks near
the old Felps House, which served as the depot in Bransford (see
No. 11). As an example of the continuity of vernacl1lar house
types, and for its association with the community of Bransford and
the Cotton Belt Railroad, this building may be eligible for the
National Register following further documentation and restoration.

The Baptist Church of Christ of Pleasant Run was organiZed on April
7, 1877: The congregation met at first in a one-roan grange hall
or todge in Red Rock. La. ter, they IIX)ved to the old Pleasant Run
SchooL In 1904 W.H. Throop and David Vickers gave one acre of
land for a church house which was dedicated in December of that
year. Sunday school rocm:;, an educational facility and a sanctuary
were added between 1935 and 1970, but the 'cuilding still retains
the overall character of a turn-of-the-century church. For its
role in the developnent of the Pleasant Run community, this
resource may be eligible for the National Register, though further
research is needed to deternli.ne its integrity. The congrega. tion
received an Official Texas Historical Marker in 1978.

William Dunn (1825-1890) settled on this property in 1875, and
bu11 t the log barn soon after. In 1925 Frances Tl.rK oougl1\. loUt:!
property and reconstructed the delapidated barn, first IOOving it
approximatelY 300 yards north to its present site. The barn has
two cribs separated by a cbg-trot and joined by a continuous gable
roof. The south crib, with irregular logs and saddle notching, is
inferior to the carefully hewn dove-tail notched timbers of the
north crib, which suggests that it my have been added during the
1925 reconstruction. Constructed as late as the 1930's in rural
Tarran t County, log barns nevertheless are beccming a rarity. This '
19th century remnant, though coo;>rc.mi.sed, is particularly
important. Further documentation is required to determine the
integrity and reason for restoration of the barn, at which ti.Ire it
my be eligible for the National Register.

William Burgess Cheek (1846-1930) was a native of Kentucky who
arrived in Grapevine in 1869 with a colony of families who
travelled together fran Georgia in a caravan of twenty-six covered
wagons. Eventually he bought 80 acres of land adjoining that of
his father-in-law John Weddell, in the Pleasant Glade Community,
and built his house in 1890. The small gabled house was originally
single pen and has a large stone chimney on the north wall. A log
barn sits at the rear of a corral behind the house. Further
docUlOOntation is needed to detennine the integrity of the site and
the possible existence of a log structure within the house, at
which point the property may be eligible for the National Register.

Pleasant Run School was roil t in 1940-U by the Works Progress
Administration, under the local supervision of Henry Behrens,
superintendant of the Pleasant Run school system. A school had
been established in the Pleasant Run carmmity as early as 1870.
The existing structure was roilt on the site of two earlier schools
bearing the same name. The first school was constructed, and was
used also as a lIEeting hall and church; the second was a two-story
structure erected in 1912. A plumbing supply business now occupies
the premises.

Andy Felps acquired 58 acres in the Bransford camunity between
1913 and 1919, and established a large well-known nursery. He
built his house around 1914, which also served as the Cottonbelt
Railroad's Bransford depot, and later as the bus depot. The house
is a good example of a widespread residential type in Tarrant
County, characterized by its nearly square plan, hip roof, and
recessed full front porch. A large rubblestone chimney and garden
wall with driveway pedestals add to the significance of the site.
Felps sold the nursery in 1942' and roil t a stone house canplex (No.
35) off Colleyville Blvd. in Hurst. For its architectural quality
and role in the history of Bransford, the house appears to be
eligible for the National Register.

(1819-91), who caae to Texas in 1844 from Missouri, settling in
1854 on about 640 acres of land in present day Cblleyville. A
prosperous landowner, he also served as a justice of the peace and
deplty county surveyor. Witten first used this burial site for an
infant son who died in 1857. His son-in-law Ryan Harrington
(1829-84) is a.lso buried here (see No.6). Samlel Witten and his
wife roved to Col"p.lS Christi in 1890 and deeded the cemetery in
perpetuity to his heirs. Witten Cemetery received an Official
Texas Historical Marker in 1981.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Historical Preservation Committee Members
FROM: Dianne McWethy, Assistant City Manager
DATE: May 17. 2000
SUBJECT: Historical Exhibits and Displays at the Colleyville Community
Center
In April, the Historical Preservation Committee members discussed the
placement of display cases, consisting of historical documents and artifacts
reflective of the City's past, at the Community Center.
This item was presented to the Community Center Advisory Committee on May
8. Since space and storage are a premium at the Center, a Donation Policy was
developed for the Community Center limiting displays to ensure that the Center
remains open and "uncluttered". To date, donations have been limited to
Herman Smith portrait, artwork, Library and Community Center Association, Inc.
award and the holiday tree and decorations.
Space also limits some of the events that may be held at the Center, even for the
local and area non-profit organizations, such as the Colleyville Woman's Club,
the Northeast Arts Council and the Mid-cities SOS. These organizations have
been forced to choose alternate locations for their venues due to space
limitations of the Center. In fact, reserve Community Center chairs and
Christmas decorations are stored off-site due to lack of available on-site storage
space.
The Community Center Donation Policy also provides a process for the review
and acceptance of donations that enhance and maintain the aesthetics of the
Center. Although the Center is a municipal building, its design and architecture
provides an ambiance similar to a home, conference hotel or small business
centers.
In summary, the Community Center Advisory Committee, unanimously
recommended that the placement of display cases, either temporary or
permanent would conflict with space allocations and aesthetics of the Center.
Since the City is currently in the process of designing other municipal facilities,
including the City Hall and the Library, the committee recommended that both
temporary and permanent display areas could be incorporated into the
architectural design and construction of these facilities, such as recessed display
cases.
