Ryan Place is one of Fort Worth's most prestigious historic neighborhoods — larger lots than most nearby areas, premium homes built in the 1920s–1940s, and a historic overlay that protects the character that makes it worth living in. The combination of generous lot sizes and older home stock makes Ryan Place one of the better Fort Worth neighborhoods for significant home additions. The lots can accommodate the expansion; the architecture demands that expansions be done thoughtfully.
