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. The architect that designed the shell was David M. Schwarz of Washington D.C. with Growald Associates of Fort Worth as the Associate Architect. The interior was finished out in 1999.
