Burk Burnett Building, 500 Main Street, Fort Worth, Texas
500 Main Street, Fort Worth, Texas Built in 1914 The building was designed by Sanguinet & Staats and was the city's first true skyscraper. The building is neoclassical in design and it was originally built as the home of the State National Bank. The base of the building is white terra cotta with granite columns on the Main Street facade. The middle of the building is red brick with a terra cotta band string course separating each floor. The top of the building is again white terra cotta with an elaborate cornice. Because it was the tallest building in the city when it was built, the ornamentation continues on the sides of the building that face away from the street. However, the ornamentation is with a different color of brick instead of terra cotta. Buchanan and Miller were the General Contractors. This was the third building designed by Sanguinet & Staats of similar appearance. Fort Worth Architecture – Paul Lowry from New York, EEUU de A, CC BY 2.0 – Wikimedia Commons
