Fort Worth's history of skyscrapers began with the completion of the 7-story
Flatiron Building in 1907. When built, it was the tallest building in North Texas.[3] The Flatiron Building stood as Fort Worth's tallest structure until 1910, with the construction of the 10-story Baker Building (since renamed the Bob R. Simpson Building).[4] Fort Worth went through a major growth in skyscrapers during the 1920s and 1930s, with the
Farmers and Mechanics National Bank building (since renamed 714 Main) emerging as the tallest in the city.[1] The Farmers and Mechanics building remained the tallest in the city until 1957, when the 30-story
Landmark Tower was completed.[5] From the early 1970s to the mid-1980s, Fort Worth went through the largest construction boom in the city's history.[6] In 1983, the 40-floor Burnett Plaza was constructed, surpassing the Landmark Tower. The Burnett Plaza has remained the tallest structure in the city to date.[7]
