Inspiration Point Shelter House is an open-air pavilion located at Marion Sansom Park in Fort Worth, Texas. Built in 1927, the pavilion stands on a limestone bluff facing south-southwest overlooking Lake Worth dam, an old fish hatchery and the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base. The structure was designed in a style sometimes referred to as National Park Service Rustic or Parkitecture. It was built primarily of limestone. On December 22, 1973, a fire destroyed the original roof. The pavilion was restored in 2011. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 31, 2014.
