Texas—Fort Worth—Ryan Place

The date of the Ryan Place plan was probably no later than 1911 when the John C. Ryan Land Company started advertising the double row of trees and magnificent marble entrance. Hallmarks of Kessler's work included the use of monuments as focal points (the massive gates at College and 8th Avenue), rows of trees flanking the streets, terraced yards, and strict construction setbacks to create a flow of open space that combined both the public parkway and private yards into a park-like expanse of green.
