I've been on the forum for almost 15 years and I *remember* iconic/landmark buildings from every thread, but for some reason I missed this one?

Love it, and thanks for the great pics!

I've shown photos of it before, maybe not from nearly on axis like this. In this thread, I chose to show several interior shots because it is such a beautiful building.

The Texas & Pacific Railway Terminal building is fantastic! Plenty to like in this photo thread as well!

Thanks for the update. I love the buildings. Only Fort Worth is cool enough to have buildings built in 2008 that look like they came from 1928. I love the preservation efforts, too. Fort Worth's downtown definitely has a unique feel to it.

Thanks for the comments. I was planning to go out and take pictures this afternoon, but since it was 107 officially today and temperatures in my part of town were around 110, I just wilted and stayed home.

Very cool, my next trip down I-35 into the great Republic of Texas I'll definitely hit Fort Worth.

John R · #32 Posted: **Jul 31, 2012, 1:59 AM**

Centropolis, come on down! I'd be glad to give you, or anyone a tour.

ColDayMan · #33 Posted: **Jul 31, 2012, 2:31 AM**

And John R is a hell of a tour guide. Believe me.

John R · #34 Posted: **Aug 1, 2012, 2:32 AM**

ColDayMan, I'm betting that if I visited your environs, you would give me a great tour, as well.

I'm going to use the heat as an excuse for not taking pictures this week. It was 108 F degrees at my house today.

FW looks incredible. It has great character. Next time I travel north, I'm stopping by for a visit instead of my usual drive-by.

MplsTodd · #37 Posted: **Aug 3, 2012, 4:58 PM**

Thanks for the description and tour! I spent about 60 minutes walking around DT FW about 10 years ago and remember it (relatively) well. But, I never saw the train station--that's a gem!

Ft. Worth has some of the best Deco anywhere in the country. The T&P terminal is even more spectacular inside than it is outside. I remember when it was used as a train station handling traffic for most railroads into and out of Ft. Worth except the Santa Fe (which had its own terminal). The Will Rogers coliseum is beautiful, as were the Hollywood and the Worth movie theatres downtown. In general, the city has more intrinsic "character" than either Dallas or Houston and it manages to stay interesting without turning into a theme park the way San Antonio has.

I want to thank all of you for the comments. I have been out of town riding bicycles in the Davis Mountains of West Texas, so I didn't add any shots last week. I will be putting a few more up in the next few days.
