A. W. Parry Farm Museum
Logo As early settlers in the Elm fork Branch of the Trinity River became prosperous, they replaced their simple rustic cabins with more elegant homes.  Built in 1909 as the third home of a farming family that came to the area in 1844, the A. W. Parry Farm Museum is one of the few remaining examples of this era of life in north Texas.  Foundations of a pre-Civil War house and kitchen have been located on the 10 acre site.

For the City of Carrolton Parks and Recreation Department, James Pratt Architecture/Urban Design performed the following:

  • Historic Structures Report
  • Master plan and project budgeting for a 12.5 acre expanded site
  • Foundation stabilization and interior restoration of the farm building
  • Design and construction of a barn containing 19th century components
  • Preparation of a landscape plan
  • Preparation of plans for a blacksmith shop
  • Restoration of a storm cellar
