They’re the tops: Here are four roofs seen ’round town.
Ball-Eddleman-McFarland House (1899).
Japanese Garden at Botanic Garden.
The house once owned by architect Wiley G. Clarkson on Ryan Place Drive (1928). Each clay tile was hand-colored, the current owner told me.
St. John’s Episcopal Church (1952).
Cowtown underground: And here are four tunnels seen ’round town.
This pedestrian tunnel under busy Seminary Drive at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary makes seminarians less likely to become cemeterians.
This tunnel goes from the Texas & Pacific passenger terminal lobby (1931) under several railroad tracks to a parking lot on Vickery Boulevard.
This tunnel allows South Side pedestrians to cross under the railroad tracks at Shaw Street. Mural celebrates the centennial of aviation in Fort Worth.
This plush tunnel connects Burnett Plaza to Bank of America under West 7th Street.
Okay, so maybe these four tunnels are not as impressive as the Catacombs of Paris, the subway system of London, or even the passages of a moderately affluent prairie dog town. But the Shaw Street tunnel features some neat airplanes. And the Burnett Plaza tunnel has a delicatessen and a beauty salon. Let’s see a bunch of prairie dogs do that.
