Thompson's Bookstore
900 Houston - c.1910
This 3 story building is a good example of commercial architecture
present in Fort Worth during the early 1900's. The third floor features
arched windows and decorative brick work. The owner of the building
has restored the building. The upper floors once housed a hotel and
the interiors are still intact and have been restored. Office space is
available on those upper floors. The Fort Worth Pharmacy was listed
as its first tenant. Gross Clothing Co. occupied the building from
1913 until 1918. They were followed by the Atlantic Coffee Co.
during the 1920's. From the mid-1930's until early 1970's, Ward's
Cut-Rate Drugs was a retail tenant. Thompson's Bookstore occupied
the building from 1973 until a few years before the building was restored.
Since its restoration in 2000, Sol y Luna and Vivid have occupied the
building. |
