North Hi Mount Elementary School
3801 W. 7th St. - 1935; 1948; 1988 (CFW)
North Hi Mount Elementary School was a Works Progress Administration
project designed by Wyatt C. Hedrick. James T. Taylor was the
contractor for the school. The styling of the building is a mix of
Spanish and Mediterranean Revival design. The main part of the
building is two stories with one story auditorium and cafeteria wings
projecting forward. This creates a landscaped entry courtyard.
The main entrance is noted by a slightly projecting Renaissance portico with
a Missionesque parapet. The central window and entry door are
surrounded by cast stone. The main parts of the building are buff
brick with hipped and gabled roofs clad in red tile. The landscaping
and stone terrace on the west side of the building were designed by Hare and
Hare of Kansas City, Missouri. That firm designed most of the
landscaping for the FWISD during the 1930's. North Hi Mount is one of
the few schools in the Fort Worth district with its original windows still
in place. |
