The building § 01
Forest Park Tower is a named condominium tower in Forest Park · South Side, Fort Worth. The building dates to 1927–30. It comprises 12 floors and 36 residences.
A local legend: construction began in 1927, paused for the 1929 crash, and finished in 1930. Verne E. Shanklin's steel-framed tower — brown brick, cast stone, twin octagonal rooftop towers — housed Ben Hogan and General John Hulen in its apartment days. Renamed from Forest Park Apartments in 2010 as owners converted to condominiums, it commands Forest Park, the Trinity, and the downtown skyline from every floor.
