Oof. Not good for reading I guess unless that can be engineered away for a reasonable price. Wonder how it is inside the T&P Lofts.

Build a new central library there. Close to transit, which makes sense for city facilities.

For years I had it in my mind that was the hospital that amputated some guy's wrong leg.  Ask your surgeon to take a Sharpie and write "This One!" before putting you under.

Also write "Not This One!" on the other leg. Just in case.

My curiosity sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. She was born Adrienne Ruth McClure. It looks like a couple of her sisters (Gladys & Jane) also made their way out west for acting careers. Sadly, Gladys died at 19 when a car she was riding in struck another car.

 

Their dad was the chief engineer for the Hotel Texas when it opened but transferred to the Baker Hotel in Dallas when it opened. He died there in a fall (from the 3rd floor according to one source, or the roof according to another).

 

One reference indicated a family relationship with a McClure Dairy Farms southwest of Fort Worth.
