Flatiron Building (Fort Worth, Texas)

The Flatiron Building is located in downtown Fort Worth, Texas, at the corner of Houston and West 9th streets. At the time of its completion in 1907 it was one of the city's first steel frame buildings and the tallest building in north Texas. History Fort Worth's Flatiron Building was commissioned by local physician Dr. Bacon Saunders, who reserved the top floor for his offices, at a cost of $70,000. The building was to be located on a flatiron shaped corner and was originally known as Saunders' Triangle Building. Early in the construction nearby merchants complained about the shadow that such a tall structure would cast over the downtown area, but their objections were eventually pacified by thoughts of the publicity the building would bring and Police Chief Maddox's promise to watch the construction site lest strong winds bring the girders down on them. William Jenkins Worth, the man for whom the city of Fort Worth is named, is buried in Worth Square whose obelisk points to the base of Manhattan's Flatiron Building, which inspired the design of the Fort Worth building. Architecture The building was designed by Fort Worth's top architectural firm Sanguinet & Staats in the renaissance revival style. It is constructed of reinforced concrete over a steel frame. The facade is divided into a two-story base supporting a five-story body capped by a heavily ornamented cast iron cornice. The east and west facades are further divided into bays by piers which rise to arches in the top level. The building carries further ornamentation in the form of carved panther heads above the second story and brick lozenges. Interior design included open floor space to facilitate flexible division into offices. Additionally, "The elevator lobby of the Flatiron, with its handsome Classical details, ceramic tile floor, and marble wainscoting, as well as the ornate iron work of the elevator..." serves to illustrate the attention paid to the public areas of the building in order to entice clients. The original design specified ten stories, but this had to be scaled back to seven due to budget concerns following the Panic of 1907. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1989, the building was purchased by George Cravens III, and renovated by the architectural firm O'Connor Architecture & Interior Design Management Co., L.L.C. As of 2021, the building has commercial rental space on the second, third, and fourth floors, and the first floor is used to host events.

Flawn Academic Center

The Peter T. Flawn Academic Center (abbreviated FAC, formerly the Undergraduate Library and Academic Center) is an undergraduate library and "technology and collaboration" facility located on the University of Texas at Austin campus. The center, named after former university president Peter T. Flawn in 1983, opened between 1963 and 1964. Upon its opening, the building featured the first open-stack library on campus for undergraduates along with much of the Humanities Research Center. Among the permanent displays in the Center's Leeds Gallery is a re-creation of Perry Mason creator Erle Stanley Gardner's study along with personal effects. Charles Umlauf's sculpture The Torchbearers is located at the front of the building. History The undergraduate library was constructed at a cost of $4.7 million, not including the price of the 60,000 volumes it originally housed. In 2005 the library underwent a major change by removing 90,000 volumes to other libraries within the university system and replacing them with "250 desktop computers... 75 laptops available for checkout, wireless Internet access, computer labs, software suites, a multimedia studio, a computer help desk and repair shop, and a café." According to Fred Heath, vice provost for the general libraries, claimed that the University of Texas remains the nation's fifth-largest academic library with more than 8 million volumes. In recent years, the facility has seen occasional usage as a student voting site for various elections. Features The fourth floor contains the Humanities Research Center's Leeds Gallery.

Fonde

The Fonde Recreation Center, often known simply as Fonde (pronounced "fon-DEE") or Fonde Rec, is a public gym near downtown Houston, Texas. Fonde is known for its basketball courts, which have been the proving ground for numerous NCAA and NBA basketball players during the summertime. Among the basketball legends that have played at Fonde are all-time greats such as Hakeem Olajuwon, Moses Malone and Clyde Drexler. Among the most oft-cited anecdotes of Fonde are the Malone–Olajuwon duels during the early 1980s, in which the two future Basketball Hall of Fame centers squared off, with the elder Malone, formerly of the Houston Rockets, testing the skills of the younger Olajuwon, then just a college player with the University of Houston. Fonde has been featured as a playable location in several NBA video games, including the NBA Live series, along with other well-known underground hoops hotbeds such as New York's Rucker Park, Goat Park, and The Cage, Chicago's Jackson Park Cages and Venice Beach. While many NBA players still play in Houston during the summer, many now play at the privately owned Westside Tennis Club. However, Fonde remains a mecca of basketball, with the Nike Houston Pro City Summer Basketball League being the signature event of the summer, recently featuring NBA stars such as Sam Cassell, Rashard Lewis, Steve Francis, Emeka Okafor and T. J. Ford. References External links Official site Nike Houston Pro City Summer League Archived 2008-03-25 at the Wayback Machine
Fondren Library

Fondren Library is the main library of Rice University in Houston, Texas. The library is named for Walter W. Fondren, a co-founder of the Humble Oil & Refining Company, whose family donated $1 million in 1946 for construction of the library. The building was designed by Houston architect John F. Staub and was notable for its open stack arrangement and art deco influence in the architecture. The library was dedicated on November 4, 1949. The library celebrated its 60th birthday in 2009. An addition to the back of the building in 1969, formally known as the Graduate Research Wing, added 99,000 square feet (9,200 m2) of research space including study rooms, stacks space, and space for the library's special collections, the Woodson Research Center (named for Benjamin Woodson). In December 1997, the Hobby Foundation designated $21.4 million specifically for improvements in Fondren Library. This gift allowed for additional space planning including the building in 2004 of the Library Service Center, a high-density offsite shelving facility that houses less-used materials in a climate-controlled environment. In 2005-06, Fondren underwent an extensive renovation creating access through the entire library, a new first-floor Hobby Information commons, and a Rice-only study space on the sixth floor with dynamic views of the campus. Mission statement The mission statement is as follows: "The mission of the Fondren Library of Rice University is to support the highest aspirations of the University in the areas of research, teaching, and service, through innovative research and information services, access to scholarly resources, collaborative alliances, and provision and shared use of physical and virtual spaces." Collections Fondren Library currently subscribes to more than 141,000 journals in multiple formats and houses more than 2.8 million print volumes and 3 million microforms. The library is a selective depository of U.S. and Texas government publications and a depository for U.S. patents and trademarks. Woodson Research Center contains more than 475 manuscript collections with emphasis on Texas, Houston, history, science, and English literature. Woodson contains more than 475 manuscript collections focused on the history of Texas and the greater Houston area, politics, entrepreneurship, and oil and gas. Other subject areas include American Civil War history, hip hop/rap music-related materials from the Swishahouse record label, science, and literary authors with Rice connections. Also in the Center are the papers of Rice University faculty members and alumni with achievements in the humanities, sciences, engineering, and the arts. Woodson also contains substantial materials related to the composer Francis Poulenc, the biologist Julian Huxley, and the Houston businessman and politician Jesse H. Jones.

Forest Lane station

Forest Lane station is a DART rail station in northeastern Dallas, Texas. The elevated station, which serves the Red Line and Orange Line, is located on Forest Lane, 1⁄3 mile (0.54 km) east of North Central Expressway (US 75) and 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway (I-635). The station serves the Medical City Dallas hospital complex, the Cottonwood Trail, and the Hamilton Park neighborhood. In tribute to the largely African-American population of Hamilton Park, the station features a sculpture dedicated to African-Americans who fought against housing segregation. History North Central Transit Center Northeastern Dallas was originally serviced by the North Central Transit Center, a park-and-ride bus station located between North Central Expressway and Coit Road. The transit center was announced by the Texas Department of Transportation in 1983, several months before DART's formation; it was opened in 1985. The lot consisted of an air-conditioned waiting area and 1,300 parking spaces. In addition to servicing DART, the center was intended to service Surtran, a municipal bus service connecting Dallas to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, but Surtran was discontinued in 1985. The lot was closed after Forest Lane opened in 2002, with all its bus routes moving to Forest Lane station. The lot was left unused for several years before it was redeveloped; it is currently the location of a Costco store. Forest Lane Forest Lane station opened on July 1, 2002, as part of the Red Line's second major expansion. The Saturday before, an opening ceremony, dubbed "Super Saturday", was held at both the Forest Lane and Arapaho Center stations. In May 2011, the Cottonwood Trail was extended south from North Central Expressway to the White Rock Creek Trail. The extension included a trailhead at Forest Lane, which was the first trailhead to be located at any DART station. References External links Dallas Area Rapid Transit - Forest Lane Station

Aeropuerto de Fort Worth Alliance

El Aeropuerto de Fort Worth Alliance (en inglés, Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport) (IATA: AFW, OACI: KAFW, FAA LID: AFW) es un aeropuerto público ubicado a 23 km (14 millas) al norte del distrito financiero de Fort Worth, Texas Estados Unidos. El aeropuerto es propiedad de la ciudad de Fort Worth y está administrado por Alliance Air Services, una subsidiaria de Hillwood Development. Es, en tamaño, el segundo aeropuerto más grande del norte de Texas, solo superado por el Aeropuerto Internacional de Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW).​ El aeropuerto se centra principalmente en operaciones de carga y sirve como centro regional del sur para FedEx Express y como ciudad de referencia para Amazon Air. No ofrece servicios importantes de aerolíneas comerciales de pasajeros, aunque sí servicios de aviación general. Anteriormente, sirvió como centro de mantenimiento para American Airlines, con sede en Fort Worth, hasta la declaración de quiebra y la posterior reestructuración de su empresa matriz AMR Corporation. Historia Considerado como el primer aeropuerto puramente industrial del mundo, fue desarrollado en una iniciativa conjunta entre la ciudad de Fort Worth, la Administración Federal de Aviación y Hillwood Development Company, una empresa de desarrollo inmobiliario propiedad de Ross Perot Jr.​ Las ceremonias oficiales de colocación de la primera piedra se celebraron en julio de 1988 y el aeropuerto se inauguró oficialmente el 14 de diciembre de 1989.​ En abril de 2018 se completó un proyecto de ampliación de pistas y calles de rodaje de US$260 millones para permitir que aviones de carga con carga pesada despegaran de cualquiera de las pistas durante las altas temperaturas del verano texano y llegaran a Europa sin repostar. El proyecto, en construcción desde 2003, requirió la reubicación de tramos cercanos de la carretera 156 de Farm to Market y la línea del Ferrocarril BNSF. Las pistas 16R/34L y 16L/34R tenían anteriormente 2,500 m (8,200 pies) y 2,900 m (9,600 pies) de longitud, respectivamente.​ En diciembre de 2022, el nombre del aeropuerto se cambió a Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport en honor a Ross Perot, Sr.​ Aerolíneas y destinos Carga Véase también Aeropuertos del mundo Aeropuertos de Estados Unidos Referencias Enlaces externos Página oficial del aeropuerto AFW (en inglés) Sitio Oficial del Departamento de Transportes de los Estados Unidos (en inglés) Administración Federal de Aviación de los EE.

Fort Worth Botanic Garden

The Fort Worth Botanic Garden is a botanical garden located in the cultural district of Fort Worth, Texas. Established in 1934, the garden is the oldest major botanic garden in Texas and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. History and organization The botanic garden started with development of the 37.5-acre Rock Springs Park in 1912 involving natural springs, streams and rock features. Completed in 1936, the Rock Spring Park was redeveloped in 2013 as the Tinsley Garden at Rock Springs, restoring the water features and re-planting with plants native to north Texas. Workers employed by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and the Civil Works Administration built the oldest areas of the garden including the Rose Garden, which was dedicated in 1933. Together, the Rock Springs Park and the Rose Garden became the Fort Worth Botanic Garden in 1934. The landscape architecture firm Hare & Hare of Kansas City, Missouri designed these gardens, the horticulture building, now called the Rock Springs Building, and the Horseshoe Garden, which was developed in the 1950s. The Cactus Garden also was part of the original design. Created in 1935, it was replaced by the Perennial Garden in 1983. Additional gardens have expanded the range of visitor experiences in nature, including the Fort Worth Japanese Garden, where a Japanese Festival is held in the spring and the fall. In 2011, the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) opened its new center next door to the botanic garden in the city's cultural district. In 2020, BRIT took over management of the botanic garden, although the city retains ownership.
