Great pics, Nitixope.  The ones of St. Andrews church are especially terrific.  John, thanks for leading our group.  I always learn something new on these tours.  Fort Worth, and Dallas too, both have some amazing church buildings from yesteryear that are still alive and functioning today.  The magnificence of the architecture and the architectural details tells me that faith was very important to the people who built our City, and apparently still is, which I'm glad.

 

BTW, the St. Andrew's organist gave the tour group a mini organ concert on their awe inspiring organ.  It made my Christmas this year.

For those who want to make a day of it tomorrow, immediately after the walking tour, the Fort Worth Stock Show All Western Parade starts in Downtown Fort Worth.  If those two events are not enough for you, Tarrant County is hosting tours of the Historic Tarrant County Courthouse from 12:30 until 3 PM.

John, I'm on schedule tomorrow morning to receive a delivery, so I won't be able to attend the walking tour, however, if I can break away after noon, I may be actually try and catch the Courthouse Tour, that sounds like a lot of fun.

I led the walking tour, attended the Stock Show Western Parade, went on the Courthouse Tour, and ate lunch at Riscky's.  It was a fun day.

If you missed the Tarrant County Courthouse Tour, there will be another one during the Main Street Arts Festival.

Nice photos, as usual, Nitixope.  The tour was a lot of fun co-leading with Brian Ketcham.  The rain wasn't bad.  This also shows to the forum that the tours are very rarely cancelled and we go rain, shine, heat, or snow.

The Downtown Walking Tour scheduled for March 9th covers the Banks That Built Fort Worth.  It will give us another chance to take a look at the Sandman Signature Hotel.
