Built from 1927 to 1930 (with a break in between because of the stock-market crash of ’29), Forest Park Tower is a local legend. Steel-framed and clad in brown brick with cast-stone trim, the tower has an elegant, commanding presence over the area — which affords spectacular views of Forest Park itself, the Trinity River, Fort Worth’s South Side and downtown. This unique building is just five or 10 minutes by car to trendy shopping, restaurants and the Medical District — and within walking distance of the famous Fort Worth Zoo.
