Landmark Tower (Fort Worth, Texas)

The Landmark Tower was a 30-story skyscraper located at 200 West 7th Street in Downtown Fort Worth, Texas.

Although unfinished, it opened in 1952, was four stories tall and had one floor of the brick façade above the granite base and served as the bank lobby.

The building was originally built as the headquarters of the Continental National Bank of Fort Worth and ground was broken for the tower in 1952.

In addition, in 1971, a 90-foot long skywalk was built from the building's northeast side across Houston Street to provide easy access to a neighboring parking garage.

The "CNB" (Continental National Bank) letters on the four-sided digital sign and clock were dismantled in 1986, and replaced with "the Big E" Empire of America signage.

[4][5] Following Empire of America's seizure by the United States government,[6] the building was abandoned in 1990 and stood vacant for the next 16 years.

The four-sided digital clock and sign was removed from April 15–21, 2000, by orders of the City of Fort Worth for safety reasons.

The building went through several owners through the years, and plans were to convert the skyscraper into a luxury apartment and condominium high-rise in a similar fate to The Tower, however the project went bankrupt.
