History

The Wharton-Scott House, known as Thistle Hill, is a Georgian Revival mansion at 1509 Pennsylvania Avenue in Fort Worth's Quality Hill neighborhood, built from 1903 to 1904 for Electra Waggoner and her husband Albert Buck Wharton and designed by Sanguinet & Staats. Cattle baron Winfield Scott bought the house in 1911. After standing empty from 1968 to 1975, it was rescued by the Save-the-Scott preservation group in 1976, and Historic Fort Worth, Inc. took ownership in 2006. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 14, 1975.
