Texas & Pacific
Railroad Fort Worth, Texas Gideon Toal provided architectural services for the complete restoration of the 6,440 square foot 1930’s Texas & Pacific Railroad Passenger Station Main Waiting Area. This will serve as a final station/ stop on the Fort Worth end of rail service connecting Fort Worth and Dallas. Research included field documentation, comparing existing conditions with original building blueprints, and chemical analysis of paint layers to determine original colors. Although many parts of the restoration had to be newly created, there existed at least one original of each item to use as a model (grille, wall sconce, etc.). All glass, metal, and marble elements were completely restored. The wall and ceiling panels, made of sugar cane fiber no longer available, were replaced using panels found in hidden locations elsewhere in the building. This project was recognized with an Honor Award from the Fort Worth Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. |
