Items related to Fort Worth's Legendary Landmarks
Synopsis
Although Fort Worth bears the trappings of any major metropolitan city-shopping malls, suburbs and office towers-it is enriched by many buildings that reflect a colorful, diverse heritage shaped by the frontier, the railroad, cattle drives and ranching, oil and industry, and both the poverty of the Depression and the largesse of various benefactors.
Fort Worth's Legendary Landmarks captures the city's rich history with photos of over eighty of the city's buildings whose background and design embody periods of the city's history, but whose stories are not well known today.
The legendary landmarks of the fort that became a city demonstrate the brick-and-mortar responses generations of Fort Worth communities have made to the forces that shaped its history.

From the Back Cover
Although Fort Worth has the trappings of any major metropolitan city - shopping malls, suburbs, and office towers - it is enriched by the many buildings that reflect a colorful and diverse heritage shaped by the frontier, the railroad and other major industries, cattle drives and ranching, oil, and both the poverty of the Depression and the largesse of various benefactors. Presenting the city's most architecturally significant buildings, this volume focuses on historical buildings whose design and background reflect periods of the city's history, but whose stories are not always well known today. Fort Worth's legendary landmarks demonstrate the brick-and-mortar responses the community made to the forces that shaped its history.
