Architecture in Fort Worth

THIS WEB SITE IS CURRENTLY BEING REDESIGNED.  

UPDATED Monday, July 21, 2008 09:31:17 PM

This web site will be listing the major buildings in Fort Worth within each area of the city. Their names, addresses, the year they were built, and their historical designations will be listed. To see full information and photographs, please follow the links on each building.  Photographs on the individual buildings can be enlarged by clicking them. 

In the 2000 Census, Fort Worth had a population of 534,694.  In the July 2003 estimates, the population was 585,122 ranking 5th in Texas and 20th in the United States.  The January 2007 estimates give the city a population of 686,850.  Fort Worth has preserved many of its downtown buildings constructed between 1880 and 1930.  Class "A" Downtown office occupancy rates are about 98%.

The best way to view these buildings throughout the city is by car; however, the best way to see downtown is on foot. Most of the structures in downtown are in close proximity to each other; however, some are on the fringes of downtown and can be seen by automobile. Downtown Fort Worth can be accessed by the Trinity Railway Express (TRE) and is navigable by bus if you arrive via the TRE.  Even though there is a parking shortage, many lots and garages in the north end of downtown offer free parking in the evenings and on weekends and all metered street parking is free during the same time period.

The information on this site will be updated as often as possible.  If you would like to send additional information, corrections, if you have comments or questions, or if you would like to give me any kind of feedback on this site, please send e-mail to jroberts@fortwortharchitecture.com.  Any comments would be greatly appreciated.  This web site is owned and operated by John Roberts, AIA Texas Registered Architect #12144, recipient of the 2003 John G. Flowers Award presented by the Texas Society of Architects.  The John G. Flowers Award is given for the best promotion of architecture through the media.  In 2004, I received the Citation of Merit Award from Historic Fort Worth, Inc.  I also serve on the Board of Directors of Historic Fort Worth, Inc.
