The Tower, Fort Worth
The Tower (formerly Block 82 Tower) is a 35 floor building in Fort Worth, Texas bound by Taylor Street, Throckmorton Street, West 4th Street, and West 5th Street. At 488 feet (149 meters), it is the fourth tallest building in Fort Worth. When it was completed in 1974, it was the tallest building in Fort Worth until the completion of the Burnett Plaza was completed in 1983. On March 28, 2000, this tower was severely damaged by an F2 tornado; consensus was nearly reached to demolish the tower, but it was instead converted into the tallest residential building in the city.
