Fort Worth Public Library
NW corner of 3rd & Taylor - 1978; Addition - 1994
This building was originally designed as an underground library by
FSB/Texas. The library also had a problem with roof leaks. Lamar
Street once ran over the library. To solve the leaks, a two-story addition was made to the
library. In 1994, there was only enough money in the budget to build a facade and a roof over the
underground structure. Additional funds have been raised to finish out the
interior, and that project is under construction. The architect that designed the shell was David M. Schwarz of Washington D.C. with Growald
Associates of Fort Worth as the Associate Architect. |
