AIA Fort Worth's 25 Favorite Buildings

The Fort Worth chapter of the American Institute of Architects has released a list of their 25 favorite buildings in Fort Worth. On the whole, it’s a great list, and I’d love to hear the community’s comments. The buildings are:

• The Kimbell Art Museum
• Marty Leonard Chapel
• Tarrant County Courthouse
• Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth
• Texas & Pacific Railway Terminal
• Will Rogers Auditorium, Coliseum, and Pioneer Tower
• United States Post Office
• Flatiron Building
• Fort Worth Water Gardens
• Thistle Hill
• Fort Worth Live Stock Exchange
• Sinclair Building
• First United Methodist Church
• Ball-Eddleman-McFarland House
• Casa Manana
• Knights of Pythias Castle Hall
• Radio Shack Riverfront Campus
• Anne Bass Residence
• Amon Carter Museum
• Masonic Temple
• Pier 1 Place
• Fort Worth Public Market Building
• Beth-El Congregation
• Burk Burnett Building
• Central Fire Station
• Lasater Residence
• Montgomery Ward Retail Store & Warehouse
• Greenwood Mausoleum

To us, the oddest choices are the Radio Shack Campus and the Beth-El Congregation. Radio Shack is cool, but we’re not sure it’s in the top 25. Beth-El, meanwhile, seems a bit out of left field – it’s a bit too “suburban high school” for our tastes. Our immediate thought is that we’d have pulled Radio Shack and Beth-El and replaced them with:

• W. T. Waggoner Building
• Bass Performance Hall

Otherwise, this seems to be a good list. What’s yours? Post in the comments!
