Signs of Life at the T&P Warehouse?
By: steph
Everybody say hello to the newest Fort Worthology staffer Stephanie Scarborough. This article makes her debut appearance on Fort Worthology.
Last summer, it was reported that plans had been put in place to convert the historic T&P Warehouse on Lancaster into apartments. Months passed and nothing happened. Then in February, the ever deteriorating warehouse made Preservation Texas’s Most Endangered list for 2008, due partially to the fact that it had several feet of standing water in the basement. So much for those apartments, right?
If you were about to lose all hope for this unfairly neglected building, don’t cry just yet; there may be a light at the end of this depressing tunnel. Today there was a large hose running out of one of the basement windows, spewing water onto Lancaster. Could the warehouse’s owner finally *gasp* be doing something to save this poor building from demolition by neglect? While we don’t have any official word on what’s going on, this seems like a positive sign and hope that only more progress towards restoration follows.
