Col. Fort and his daughter Mary both died here in 1878 of Typhoid Fever.
Fort House underwent significant changes in the early twentieth century. From 1911 to 1955, the house ceased to be the residence of its namesake family and was rented out to various tenants. The property fell into decline until the Junior League of Waco purchased it in 1956. The residence now serves as a public museum.
