Rosemont Middle School

1501 W. Seminary Dr. - 1935; 1958; 1980; 2003

Constructed with Works Progress Administration funds, this Mediterranean/Romanesque school was designed by the E. G. Withers Architectural Co. of Fort Worth.  It was built by Thos. S. Byrne Construction Co.  The building is mostly two story with one story gabled wings projecting toward Seminary Drive.  The palette of materials features polychrome ochre brick with banded courses with the main entry porticos feature engaged columns and horizontal banding of cut limestone.  Inside the window arches are glazed tile murals.  Two secondary front entrances feature limestone arched porticos.  Each of the original building's gables also have glazed tile insets.  The roof of the building is constructed out of red clay tile.  The interior of the school featured beautiful terrazzo patterns throughout all corridors of the original building.  As with many of Fort Worth's WPA schools, Hare & Hare designed the landscaping for the campus.  In 1958, a sympathetic auditorium addition was constructed to the east of the main building.  Along with that addition, a rear classroom and gymnasium wing was constructed behind the original building.  This 1958 addition was designed by George A. King & Associates.  Several other smaller additions  have been built over the years and have been located on the back sides of the campus.
