I.C. Parker, president of Pangburn Candy Company, is credited with inventing the Drumstick ice cream.

He and his wife Jewel built a home in Fort Worth near Colonial Country Club in 1937, designed by architect Charles Stevens Dilbeck. And now this historic property could be yours for about $4 million.

The 4,129-square-foot home has two bedrooms, two full and two half bathrooms, and sits on nearly an acre, its backyard continuing down the bluff.
