| Notes: |
A true Wichita Falls treasure, 3100 Hamilton is a 10,090 sq. ft. neoclassical mansion built between 1926–1929 by architects J.S. Lauk (Kansas City) and Voelcker & Dixon (Wichita Falls). Constructed on 4.24 acres on steel to bedrock with cut Indiana limestone and zero structural wood, the home was crafted with artisan detail, including work by Italian craftsmen who lived on-site during its construction.<br />
The grand façade echoes the South Portico of the White House with six solid Indiana limestone Corinthian columns and a sweeping oval front porch. The herringbone brick drive leads to the home, side portico, and 3-bay garage. Inside, you'll find 17 rooms including 5-7 bedrooms (all with closets), 6 full and 1 half bath, 7 unique fireplaces giving nod to the White House, and 5 major staircases.<br />
Interior finishes are rich in history and elegance: quarter-sawn oak floors, Italian tile, ornamental plaster ceilings, Russian walnut library cabinets with leaded glass, and original crystal and bronze chandeliers. The elegant main spiral staircase features custom wrought iron railings, balcony, and a carved sphinx on the entry rail.<br />
The chef’s kitchen was thoughtfully renovated with honed Carrara marble, Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry (with optional solid wood fronts), a hood designed with a lion’s head from a historical Victorian home, and a restored original built-in refrigerator-now a perfect drink fridge.<br />
The basement offers 1,380 sq. ft. of additional space with a game room, pool room, and storage. Above the garage is a fully equipped 900 sq. ft. guest apartment. Outdoor features include Lutyens-style gardens, a marble fountain from an Indian palace, greenhouse, pergola with Corinthian columns, a crescent-shaped slate area, grass tennis court, and more.<br />
Awarded the Landmark Commission’s Historical Landmark Designation in 2000, this iconic property blends historical architecture with modern comforts, including central heat & air (gas and electric). |
