The Markeen Apartments, at the corner of Daggett and St. Louis avenues on Fort Worth's Near South Side, is a two-building Prairie School complex constructed in 1910 by James J. Parker, who lived there with his wife Vesta Royce Parker. The Parkers sold the property in 1952, and it passed through several owners before a sensitive rehabilitation using federal tax credits. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 2, 2001.
