The Neil P. at Burnett Park
(originally Neil P. Anderson Building)
411 W. 7th - 1921 (NR, RTHL)
The building, designed by Sanguinet & Staats, was named after
Neil P. Anderson who was in the cotton industry. The General Contractor was
Wyatt C. Hedrick Construction Co. of Fort Worth. The 11th floor, a penthouse, features 7
skylights facing true north. This floor was originally used as a cotton exchange showroom.
Like many of Sanguinet & Staats' buildings, the corner is a highlighted element. In
this case, the northwest corner of the building is rounded. The building also sits on a
block where the street grid shifts; therefore, that corner is greater than 90 degrees.
Ground Floor retail tenants are Thomas Reprographics, and The 7th Street
Grill.
