Mr_Brightside, yes the Swift buildings could possibly be restored; however, there are two problems. Those buildings have never been protected from demolition and the owner currently has approved wrecking permits for all of the buildings on the site. The owner has not offered to restore any non-protected historic buildings. Their site plans show all new construction at the Swift site. It may be too late to save them.
This morning, I attended a meeting of UTA and TCU students at the monumental stair on NE 23rd Street. The stair and wall are really nice pieces of concrete and masonry craftsmanship. It was really fun to get together with the students.
