8. Physical Description
The Grapevine Commercial Historic District consists of a row of twelve one- and two -
story commercial buildings in a continuous blockface that constitutes the most intact portion of
the historic mercantile center of the town of Grapevine. The masonry structures constituting the
district were built largely around 1900 in then - popular, essentially vernacular, one- and two -part
commercial building styles. The district is distinctive for the predominance of red brick as the
primary building material; a dominant cornice line shared by all the structures that are detailed
in brick corbel and dentil courses; and a strong and consistent rhythm of ground story, recessed
storefront entries flanked by large plate glass shop windows topped by transoms. The
contributing buildings in the district retain their historic character to an unusual degree. The
collection typifies the main street of Grapevine circa 1900, an agricultural community that, like
many others in the region, experienced significant suburban growth in the latter half of the 20th
century which drew business and commerce to the town's fringes.
Sited on a flat, linear tract, the district buildings are located on the west side of the 400
block of Main Street facing eastward onto Main, historically the principal north/south
thoroughfare of the town. No significant vegetation exists in the district, and there are no known
sites of prehistoric archaeological interest. The district comprises approximately one quarter of
the two block area which has historically been associated with both commerce and government
in the town of Grapevine.
Buildings within the district were generally constructed with principal facades on the
eastern property lines, with the adjacent sidewalk extending out approximately eleven feet.
Variations to this uniform setback and orientation are found in the two end buildings: at the
north, 404 Main has a corner entrance, while the Wilhoite Garage at 432 Main had the front -
most section of the ground floor hollowed out in about 1930 to accommodate its service station
function. No remnants of historic streetscape elements remain; the raised sidewalks are
contemporary concrete, and all street furniture, lighting fixtures and signs date from after 1950.
The fine, ornamental brickwork on the street facades of the district buildings typically
feature unpainted red brick with ornamental parapets. The corbelled and dentilled courses in
these parapets create a uniformity that ties the blockface together visually. The mid - block, two
story structure at 412 South Main shares the same cornice detailing. Several structures also have
cast iron elements, typical of storefront buildings of the period, and most retain wooden window
frames, transoms and doors, reflecting an overall pattern of storefront fenestration. It is the
rhythm and dominance of these continuous cornicelines and storefronts with recessed entries and
transoms that exemplifies the vernacular, small town Main Street commercial row of the early
twentieth century. Rear facades are more utilitarian. These are also of brick, have more varied
setbacks and irregular fenestration patterns, and most have been significantly altered and rebuilt.
As is common in commercial buildings of the period, most interiors of contributing
buildings have had varying degrees of alteration over the years. Historic fabric is found inside
some buildings, however, in the form of beaded board ceilings and wooden doors and floors.
Historic photographs reveal that many of the block's structures at one time had iron
awnings suspended over the raised sidewalk, and the building at 404/406 South Main had iron
awnings noted in 1921 and 1935 Sanborn Fire Insurance Company maps; all the awnings have
since been removed. The Sanborn Maps also indicate all buildings were of masonry
construction, except for the two small, frame and iron structures at 428 and 430 S. Main, which
were removed and replaced by a stone veneer structure in 1948.
The Grapevine Commercial Historic District has twelve properties within its boundaries,
all but one of which are of pre -1945 construction or origin. The significance of the district lies
in its effective representation of the vernacular, small town Main Street commercial row, and in
the buildings' general high degree of integrity. The non - contributing building has been altered
several times since the 1930s, although it retains much of its interior detailing and general
exterior appearance.
9. Statement of Significance
The Grapevine Commercial Historic District is a small but cohesive grouping of turn- of -the-
century commercial buildings that best represent the early commercial history of Grapevine
from 1900 to 1948, with an economy based upon access to cotton and other agricultural markets
by railroad. The fine, essentially vernacular, commercial architecture of the district meets
Grapevine Historic Preservation Commission architectural criteria for its reflection of distinctive
characteristics of late 19th and early 20th century storefront buildings, characterized most
dramatically by continuous, detailed parapets and a coherent rhythm of storefront entries,
windows and transoms.
Reconstruction -era Texas during the years 1870 - 1900 consisted largely of countless,
isolated farming communities. Transportation difficulties severely limited available goods and
building materials, and consequently small -town commercial enterprises had few goods to offer;
these were housed in very simple frame or sometimes masonry buildings. The coming of the
railroad to communities across North Central Texas in the 1880s and '90s transformed these
towns. The ability to market agricultural products beyond its own county brought prosperity,
and a much wider array of goods were available in substantial, new and stylish commercial
buildings.
The typical small -town Texas main street by the turn of the century consisted of one- and
two -story brick commercial buildings arranged around a square (if a county seat) or in a linear
form (if not) and located near the railroad tracks and depot. Ornamental brickwork, particularly
in parapets, was usually characteristic of these vernacular, flat - roofed buildings; elaborate
wooden transoms available as stock items through lumberyards and cast iron or pressed metal
features were also quite common exterior features. Built directly up to the sidewalks and
generally in a continuous blockface, the brick buildings frequently were shaded by flat or shed
metal canopies that reached to the curb, which itself was sometimes raised particularly high off
the street level, to allow for wagon (and later truck) loading. Interiors featured high pressed
metal or beaded wood ceilings, milled woodwork, occasionally skylights and, ultimately,
electricity.
Dry goods, drugs, groceries, farm implements and other agricultural products, cafes,
banks and insurance offices and later moving picture theatres were typically located along the
small town main street in the first decades of the twentieth century. Proximity to the railroad
depot, which provided both freight and passenger services; cotton gins, lumberyards and other
industrial facilities; and to the civic functions of county courthouse and town hall, library and
school, were also common.
The City of Grapevine, Tarrant County, conforms to this development pattern in most
respects. Anglo settlement occurred in the area by the mid -1840s when a group of families from
Missouri established farms in not Tarrant and southern Denton counties in an area between
Big Bear and Denton Creeks known as Cross Timbers. Ambrose Foster, his wife, sons and
daughters and their husbands settled on Foster's 640 acre Peters Colony land grant in about
1845; other families homesteaded nearby and a small community began to grow. By 1846, the
newly established Lonesome Dove Baptist Church, one quarter mile north of what would
become the town center, was offering school to children in a one room log building. In
1854, the original township was laid out on high ground on the northern portion of the
William Dooley survey immediately east of the Foster property by a group of early
families, including A.F. Leonard and Henry Suggs (sons -in -law of Ambrose Foster)
and J.T. Morehead. The township consisted of approximately six square blocks, with
Main Street running south to north through its center and terminating at its northern end
at the public square with the town water supply.
The first documented store in the community, opened by F.M. Jenkins in the late
1850s, and the advent of a post office in 1858 fully established the center of the
fledgling community. Founding of several more church congregations, and
construction of a Masonic lodge and school a quarter mile east of downtown in 1869
further strengthened the community's cohesiveness. By 1884 the town's population
had reached 550 and an observer noted that the town had a half dozen businesses, the
post office, blacksmith shops, two hotels and other buildings "too numerous to
mention." In 1886, the Grapevine College began holding classes in the former Masonic
school building
Its economy originally based upon cattle raised for sale to nearby Camp Worth,
Grapevine shared much of the rest of North Central Texas' increased prosperity
beginning in the late 1870s with the expansion of the cotton cultivation industry. New
technologies in plow and other farm implement design allowed the breaking up of the
tough prairie sod, and cotton quickly became the predominant product of the region.
The rapid expansion of the railroad network in the 1880s, responding to the need to
move the cotton efficiently to markets such as Fort Worth and Dallas, reached Grapevine
in 1888 with the arrival of the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas Railroad, later named the
St. Louis and Southwestern and called the "Cotton Belt Route." The Cotton Belt linked
Grapevine to Greenville and Texarkana to the northeast and Fort Worth to the
southwest. Three cotton and grist mills were operating in the town, and by 1890 the
population had grown to 800.
The compass- aligned street grid of the original township allowed for orderly
development of single family residences immediately surrounding the commercial core
of Main Street to the east, north and west. The Cotton Belt tracks cut across the town
from east to west just south of downtown and inhibited any significant residential
development beyond. The commercial district itself continued to flourish in its original
location, north of the railroad depot beyond two intervening blocks that remained
residential in character, and a great many of the existing commercial buildings were
constructed in the community's initial period of prosperity from 1890 to 1910.
Businesses typical of such independent communities occupied the commercial
buildings of Main Street, which generally reflect the town's turn -of -the- century
prosperity as an agricultural trading center. Groceries, dry goods, confectioneries,
drugs, farm implements and hardware, a funeral home, a bank and insurance offices
historically were located in the Main Street buildings. Most are one- and two- story
structures with fine brickwork and ornamental parapets; many feature cast iron columns
and detailing from the regionally significant Mosher Manufacturing Company in Dallas.
Perhaps the most remarkable exterior features still extant are the multi -light wooden
transoms on the storefronts. Windows in the Grapevine Home Bank (404 South Main)
have recently been returned to the building, and very fine colored glass transoms
restored in the Lucas Grocery (412 South Main); the Jenkins Building (408 South Main)
and the trio of buildings at 422/424/426 South Main are also important survivals. Some
district buildings also retain important features such as beaded wood ceilings and
skylights. No buildings are known to have been architect- designed.
The slow growth of Grapevine after 1910 and the advent of the Great Depression
resulted in few changes made to the commercial district for several decades. The
Moderne -style First National Bank of Grapevine (1942) just outside the district may
have been the only major significant building in the area constructed in that period. By
1934, the new accessibility by automobile of stores and services in the nearby cities via
two major paved roads, the Northwest Highway (old State Highway 114) to Dallas and
the Grapevine Highway (present State Highway 12 1) to Ft Worth, proved costly to new
downtown development in Grapevine. While the relative stagnation of the town was
doubtless considered to be unfortunate at the time, it resulted in the preservation of the
turn-of -the- century character of much of the district. The town continued to rely upon
agriculture, with truck farms as well as larger cotton - producing enterprises sustaining
the local economy.
Grapevine's proximity to Fort Worth's booming defense industries in the 1940s,
however, led to an 80 per cent population increase in that decade, and sprawling tracts
of houses grew to the west, north and east of the original township. The creation of
Lake Grapevine with its extensive recreation opportunities between 1947 and 1952, and
especially construction of mammoth Dallas/Forth Worth International Airport, partially
within Grapevine's city limits south of the new Highway 114, between 1965 and 1974
accelerated suburban growth. This explosion of population and development forever
changed the town's character, from minor agricultural trading post to an important
suburb within one of the major metropolitan areas of the Southwest. The effect on the
business district was also significant. Outlying shopping centers vied with downtown
for business and misguided modernization of the circa 1900 commercial buildings
resulted in a loss of integrity, both of individual buildings and of the business district as
a whole. In the 300 block of South Main, most buildings had modifications, many
unsympathetic, as also occurred on the east side of the 400 block. Even the proposed
district did not escape, with doors changed, transoms obscured or removed, and other
features modified.
The 1980s, however, brought a greater appreciation of Grapevine's historic
downtown. Initiation of a Main Street program, with help from the National Trust for
Historic Preservation and the Texas Historical Commission, encouraged owners to
sympathetically rehabilitate their properties, and the west side of the lesser altered 400
block is arguably the greatest success, where fully eleven of twelve buildings are
considered to be contributing to the district. Of the score or so former farming
communities in the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area, Grapevine retains one of the
very few recognizable historic commercial areas.
The Period of Significance, 1900 - 1948, includes the construction boom of the
district, continues through the 1930s, when the last historic remodelings were made to
the buildings at 432 and 406 South Main, and ends with the construction of 428 South
Main in 1948.

8 & 9 Description and Significance - Properties in the Grapevine
Commercial Historic District
404/406 South Main, Contributing: Ca. 1900
Description:
One story red brick building with clipped corner entry bay anchoring four bays on the
Main Street elevation, divided by brick pilasters extending above a complex dentilled
parapet and capped simply with brick. Tall transoms surmount each storefront; glass
block, constituting a ca. 1930s alteration, fills the first three transoms above the flanking
storefronts and entry to 406 S. Main, while restored, Prairie -style irregular light
transoms surmount the storefront and clipped corner double -door entry on 404 S. Main.
No historic interior elements appear to remain, although the dropped ceilings may
conceal original materials. Common brick walls, with several irregularly spaced,
segmentally arched windows which have been boarded over and altered service entries
constitute the building's rear elevation.
Significance:
Built as the Grapevine Home Bank (est. 1901), the building is typical of a small town
Main Street commercial structure, with fine brickwork and detailed transoms and
windows, that retains its essential architectural integrity. (See Photograph #4)
408 South Main, Contributing: Ca. 1900
Description:
One story brick building with 36 light fixed transoms flanking the recessed center entry
door, topped by a simple brick parapet with recessed brick sign panel. No historic
interior elements appear to remain, although the dropped ceilings may conceal original
materials. A replacement concrete block rear elevation has a single service door.
Significance:
E.M. Jenkins was an early owner of this commercial building, followed by his daughter
Elizabeth Bushong who acquired ownership in 1910 when Jenkins' estate was
partitioned. Typical small -scale brick Main Street commercial building that retains its
essential architectural integrity.
412 South Main, Contributing: Ca. 1900, altered 1910.
Description: A two story red brick building with stepped, corbelled parapet; three bays
divided in the upper story by brick pilasters are marked by tall windows, currently
boarded over, with smooth stone sills and lintels. Exceptionally fine colored glass is
found in the complex, divided light transoms that surmount the storefront windows,
which in turn flank the deeply recessed center entry double doors. While floors and
walls have been altered, the historic beaded board ceiling remains in the ground floor
retail store. At the rear of the building, a double- leafed loading door on the ground
floor, surmounted by a brick segmental arch, is echoed in the upper story by two
segmentally arched windows. Portions of the rear wall have been plastered.
Significance:
Constructed about 1900 as a one story structure, the Lucas Grocery building had its
second story added ca. 1910 to serve as a funeral parlor. It is typical of a small town,
Main Street commercial building and retains its essential architectural integrity. (See
Photograph #5)
414 South Main, Contributing: Ca. 1900
Description: One story brick building with corbelled, stepped parapet similar to the
adjacent structure at 412, its simple divided light transoms top the large plate glass
storefront windows that flank the recessed double entry doors. Exposed brick sidewalls
mark the interior of this storefront, as well as a historic beaded ceiling. A two story
addition, in compatible red brick with multi -light aluminum windows, has been
constructed at the rear of the building, although it cannot be seen from Main Street.
Significance:
Typical of a small town, Main Street commercial row building of its period, this
building maintains its essential architectural integrity.
418 South Main, Contributing: Ca. 1900
Description: One story, three bay red brick commercial building with flat brick parapet
and two fluted cast iron columns bearing the imprint "Mosher Mfg. Co., Dallas, Texas"
dividing the center entry from the flanking storefronts. No historic interior elements
remain visible in this structure, and the rear elevation has had numerous alterations,
leaving no significant features.
Significance: An early tenant of this typical, small Main Street commercial row building
retaining its original integrity was the Tate Hardware Co.
420 South Main, Contributing: Ca. 1900
Description: Similar to the stepped parapet design of the nearby 414 S. Main, this one
story red brick structure has plate glass storefronts flanking a center entry door. The
original wood floors and beaded ceiling, pierced by an early skylight, remain in the
store's interior. The rear elevation has been reconstructed in concrete block.
Significance: Long the site of the E.J. Lipscomb and Son family drygoods business
(1900 - 1967), this typical small town commercial row building is constructed, as were
most likely the four identical structures in the blockface, with bricks made by Jake
Waymire at his kiln northwest of Grapevine. The building retains its essential
architectural integrity.
422/424/426 South Main, Contributing: Ca. 1900
Description: A trio of one story commercial, red brick buildings, similar to their
neighbors, with simple brick parapets and storefronts flanking center entry doors.
Dropped ceilings conceal original ceiling heights and any potential historic materials in
the significantly altered interiors of these buildings. The buildings' rear elevations have
apparently been reconstructed in new brick, with no fenestration other than service
doors.
Significance: The multi -light transoms and center entry doors of these three structures
mark them as typical of small town Main Street commercial row buildings. They retain
their essential architectural integrity.
428 South Main, Contributing: 1948
Description: Grey shellstone veneer covers this post -World War II building, with large
plate glass storefront windows and flush entry doors framed in aluminum and detailed
with red brick surrounds. A single red brick course serves as the parapet cap. The
simple store interior features a beaded wood ceiling. The rear elevation and the north
side wall, which faces a narrow pedestrian alley separating the building from 426 South
Main, retain original steel casement windows, although the rear service door is a
contemporary replacement.
Significance: Built to replace two small wood and metal buildings which appeared in the
1921 Sanborn maps, this structure is typical of post war, small town commercial row
building design and reflects the district's other, earlier buildings and their setbacks and
rhythm of storefront windows and entry doors. Its massing, placement and use are an
integral part of the district, although its primary surface material is unlike any other in
the district.
432 South Main, Non - contributing: 1913, ca. 1935
Description: A two story building with stuccoed street facade, this structure has no
windows in the upper floor, but is marked by two major end bays flanking a narrower
center entry bay, each divided by brick pilasters that reach to the simple masonry parapet
cap. The ground story, which apparently originally consisted of typical storefronts, was
remodeled in about 1930 to accommodate use as a service station by hollowing out the
first ten feet in depth and adding a protruding canopy at the center bay. (A
contemporary solid brick balustrade now encloses the hollowed out car bays.) At a later
date, the second story windows were blocked up and the smooth stucco finish added
over original brick. Wide plate glass windows with clipped corners pierce the first floor
walls flanking the center entry. Original interior materials are still evident, including the
beaded wood ceiling pierced by a deep skylight, exposed brick walls and original
hardwood flooring. The pressed metal soffit in the car bay also remains. The rear
elevation has been altered with numerous replacement and added windows and doors.
Significance: Built in 1913 for commercial use, including a cinema in the north section,
this structure was remodeled as a service station in 1935 and received its painted stucco
finish.
