Historical Cottage in Fort Worth, Texas. Acquired between 1871 and 1873 by Khleber Miller Van Zandt, when he acquired 600 acres of land to the west of the newly incorporated Fort Worth. The cottage was already there. It has undergone several restorations since that time. Originally said to have had a "dog-trot" in the middle of it, but was enclosed during one restoration. The original unpainted siding was replaced by more modern siding, in 1936. The foundation had to be repaired as well as the chimneys that stand on either end of the cottage. Khleber Miller Van Zandt started a bank and an early newspaper in Fort Worth. He was also the great great grandfather of singer songwriter Towndes Van Zandt.
