Inscription. Pioneer architects Haggart and Sanguinet designed this brick sandstone and cast iron building with rounded arched windows and other ornate details. It featured the first known stone carving in Fort Worth, the figure of an owl, and displayed the initials of the lawyers Ross, Herd and Ross, who occupied the second floor, above the title firm.
