Does anyone have any pictures of the interiors at the Kress lofts? I've searched this sight to no avail. There are two ok pics on their website, I'd just like to see a few more. I'm looking make a move soon and I really like the location of the Kress.

As many of you know, the Fox & Hound closed down recently and when the sign was removed, the original terra cotta S.H. Kress & Co. signs were revealed on the east and west sides of the building.  I noticed that for the first time today when I was walking around downtown.

I have not been downtown in almost a month. I would love to see that.

All of the terra cotta "Kress" signs and logos are now exposed for the first time in years.  I'm hoping that a restaurant will go in and lease that space.

I'm hoping for either the museum or the drug store that were there previously to return.

 

Keep Fort Worth folksy

So, would it be better to have one restaurant go all the way from one end of the building to the other, which would put an entrance on two streets (Main and Houston), or to divide it up so that you have two different restaurants on two different streets?  I like the entrance on Houston better, personally, but it would get less traffic than the entrance on Main.

Meso Maya, an interior-Mexican restaurant, will move into the old Fox and Hound spot in the Kress building, according to Bud Kennedy.
