Armour Building

The Armour Building was constructed in 1902 during the boom years at the Fort Worth Stockyards, in Fort Worth, TX, headquarters for our Texas Branch Office.  Over the years, our local presence, quality craftsmanship, and professional reputation have provided tremendous opportunities to showcase our talent on projects throughout the Stockyards Historic District development.

Scope of Work

As part of the ongoing development of the Stockyards Historic District, Mid-Continental Restoration is playing a key role in converting the Armour Building into modern office space. This project involves extensive concrete and masonry restoration techniques designed to preserve the building’s original character while updating it for contemporary use.

Challenges and Solutions

The restoration process is focused on maintaining the building’s historical integrity. Much of the existing window and door openings are being preserved, with selective brick removal and replacement being conducted to match the original aesthetic. In addition to this, numerous new window sills with flashing are being installed, carefully integrated to blend seamlessly with the building’s historic architecture.

Results

Through meticulous planning and expert craftsmanship, the Armour Building is being revitalized, balancing the preservation of its historical significance with the demands of modern office functionality. This project underscores Mid-Continental Restoration’s commitment to quality and its ability to execute complex restorations within historic districts.
