The fourth annual Charity Antiques Show was held February 28 and March 1 in the elegant 1930 Masonic Center, one of Fort Worth’s finest Classical Moderne landmarks. The honorees, Virginia and Jenkins Garrett, amassed an impressive collection of antiquarian maps, books, manuscripts and other historical materials, which they generously donated to U.T.A. These collections are available to students and scholars for research. Proceeds from this charitable event benefitted preservation programs of Historic Fort Worth, Inc. including its two historic properties, Thistle Hill and the Ball-Eddleman-McFarland House.

 

On Friday, February 27, guests attended The Champagne Shopping Party to visit with Virginia and Jenkins and have the opportunity to do early shopping. Antiques dealers from around the country participated in this year’s show and offered our guests a wonderful selection of items to purchase. The Show opened to the public on Saturday, February 28 and Sunday, March 1. All attendees enjoyed this year’s Charity Antiques Show.
