Tarrant County Courthouse Clock Tower Restoration

Tarrant County Courthouse, Suite 430 | Fort Worth, Texas | 76102 | 817-884-3344 | Texas Historical Commission web site

This project is for complete and total restoration of the 116 year old clock tower.  Project design work commenced five years ago when a 400 lb. piece of cast iron work fell off and made a hole in the roof.  Work includes masonry restoration, cast iron restoration and replacement, structural steel restoration, historic window restoration, copper work restoration and replacement, historic clock restoration, and triple water proofing through design and materials of all exterior materials.

The project goal is sufficiently high quality work to endure for the next 116 years with usual public building maintenance. The project was completed last June, 2012 for $3,880,000 within budget and on schedule (excepting weather days).  We have completed remodel of the Administration Building and installation of a new chiller system for the Tarrant County Courthouse.  We are currently working with Tarrant County on demolition of the Old Civil Courts Building, which will be followed by restoration of the west entry to the Courthouse and the Courthouse west lawn.  Other recent projects have included painting and rehabilitation of the exterior of the Tim Curry Justice Center, along with rehabilitation of the supporting structures for the roof top cooling tower screens.
