NW corner of 3rd & Taylor - 1978; Addition - 1994
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. Additional funds have been raised to finish out the interior, and that project is under construction. The architect that designed the shell was David M. Schwarz of Washington D.C. with Growald Associates of Fort Worth as the Associate Architect.
