1. Torian Cabin – ca. 1845 – Liberty Park Plaza – 200 Block of South Main. This historic cabin was constructed by Francis Throop in the Lonesome Dove area as a double-pen style, consisting of two connecting rooms side by side each with an outer door to the porch. John R. Torian bought the property in 1886 and descendants of the Torian family lived in the cabin until the 1940s. In 1976 it was donated to the city and moved to Liberty Park through the efforts of the Grapevine Historical Society and the Tourism and Convention Bureau (now the Convention & Visitors Bureau).
2. Nash Farm – ca. 1859 – 626 Ball Street -- Thomas Jefferson Nash and Elizabeth Mouser Nash started building their new two-story house in 1869. It is a vernacular, Texas “T” style house which is rectangular in massing with side gables, one room deep and two rooms wide, separated by a central hallway and stairs. The farmhouse was greatly altered in 1948 by the Pierce Williamson family. In 1996, the Nash Farm was purchased by the Grapevine Heritage Foundation. In 2007, the Nash Farmhouse will be returned to its 1869 appearance.
3. Payne/Fuller House – ca. 1865 – 504 West College -- This Gothic Revival style house was originally located at the southeast corner of Main and College Streets and was moved to 504 West College in 1914. The house features five steeply pitched gables on the façade, hallmarks of the Gothic Revival style. The current front porch was probably added after the move and before 1942.
4. Dorris House – ca. 1896 – 224 East College -- This two and ½ story house is an excellent example of the Queen Anne style and features many hallmarks of the style such as cutaway bay windows, decorative wood shingles on the gable ends, a tower and balcony, turned porch columns, scroll-sawn bracketed window hoods, and a lacy porch frieze. It was built by Dr. Thomas Benton Dorris, an early Grapevine physician.
5. Depot/Section House – ca. 1888 – 705 South Main Street -- To facilitate the operation of the St. Louis Southwestern Railroad (aka Cotton Belt Railroad) in Grapevine, a depot and home for the Section Foreman were constructed by the railroad company. The depot is in the popular Craftsman Style of architecture and was originally located in the Middle of Main Street. It was saved from demolition by the City and the Grapevine Garden Club and moved to Heritage Park in 1972. The two-story Section Foreman’s House features an L-plan with the first floor consisting of a living room, kitchen, dining room, one bedroom and an L-shaped stair. The upstairs featured two bedrooms. The G. C. Miller family was the last Section Foreman to occupy the house; it was sold and moved to Hall-Johnson road in 1957. In 1992, the Grapevine Heritage Foundation moved the Depot and the Section House back to their original homes near the railroad tracks on Main Street and utilizes the buildings in its historic preservation program.
6. Palace – ca. 1940 – 300 South Main Street -- Built by J. Kirby Buckner, the Palace opened its doors as a movie house to an excited and enthusiastic audience in 1940. In 1975 the Palace became the home of the Grapevine Opry. Greatly changed over the years, its Art Deco design has been restored through the work of the Grapevine Heritage Foundation who purchased the building in 1991. It now serves as a community performing arts center.
7. Wallis – ca. 1991 – One Liberty Park Plaza -- This building is a replica of the old ca. 1891 “Brick Hotel” or “Wallis Hotel” that was originally located at the corner of Main and Hudgins Street to serve travelers and salesmen coming to Grapevine on the train. The old hotel was demolished in the 1930s, and in 1991 – 100 years after its original opening – the Grapevine Convention & Visitors Bureau broke ground on the new building for its offices. Some furnishings from the original hotel are showcased in the new building.
8. City Hall – ca. 1997 – 200 South Main Street -- Although this building is new and meets modern technological needs, it is designed to reflect the architectural traditions of Grapevine in the late 19th century. Historic photographs of Grapevine buildings now gone offered examples of unique architectural elements for the new building! For example, the stone pediment, columns and façade on Main Street are replications of the old Farmers National Bank.
