Electric Building, building in Fort Worth, Texas, United States

The Electric Building is an 18-story Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance style building in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. Architect Wyatt C. Hedrick designed it, and construction began in December 1927. The ground floor is used for retail stores, while the upper floors contain apartments.

Architect Wyatt C. Hedrick designed this structure during Fort Worth's commercial expansion in the early 20th century. The building earned its place on the National Register of Historic Places as a testament to the city's early modernization period.

The building was constructed in 1929 as the headquarters of the Texas Electric Service Company, which gave it its name. Its ornamented vaults, column capitals and decorative plasterwork mark the peak of Fort Worth's economic growth in the first half of the 20th century. The ground floor now holds retail stores.

The structure sits in downtown Fort Worth on West 7th Street within easy walking distance of the central business district. Keep in mind that this is an active residential building, so access to common areas may be limited to residents or guests.

The building's NRHP listing of 1995 carries the reference number 95000048. The six-story annex added in 1929 on an adjoining lot is often missed by visitors, who read the 18-story tower as a single structure. The Hollywood Theater operated inside until its closure in 1976.
