Oakhurst has a wonderful collection of homes nestled in a park like setting and surrounded by numerous old oak trees.  Each home in Oakhurst has a story to tell, and listed below are a few of the early homes which helped to establish the neighborhood.

The Warner house, built in 1930, is a single story stucco clad adaptation of the Mission Revival style to a modern home.  The original owner, Carl T. Warner, was a masonry contractor who worked on the Buccaneer Hotel in Galveston as well as the Baker Hotel in Mineral Wells.  Reportedly, Warner replicated the interior fixtures for the dining and living areas of this home from fixtures in both of the hotels.

The Losh House, built in 1931, maintains a beautiful corner lot along one of Oakhurst's most scenic streets.  The house was comissioned by Samuel Stephen Losh and his wife Ada, both revered musicians and teachers in Fort Worth.  In the foyer of the home sits a beautiful stained glass window which has welcomed guests for more than 70 years.

The Williams house, built in 1936, is a handsome sandstone veneer home with many interlocking gables.  Howard D. and Mabel Williams comissioned C.B. Burkhart to build this lovely residence with a steeply pitched gable above the arcaded front porch and tall chimney. Each architectural detail included in the planning and building of this house provide this home with quite a pituresque profile.

The Register-McLean house was built in 1933 by Frank Register for $3,000.  In 1937, Harvey McLean purchased the home and replaced the original shingle exterior with sandstone veneer.  The house has a lovely side gable with an intersecting entry porch.  Along with the sandstone exterior, the steep gables and round arch windows contribute to this home's charm.

The Thornton house is a quaint sandstone veneer home built in 1937.  Otis H. Thornton managed Finley-Kitchens Commission Company and contracted Thomas Powell to build this home.  The house features two side gables intersected by the gable of the main body of the home.  The combination of form and materials gives this home a doll house quality.
