Sanguinet & Staats

The firm specialized in steel-frame construction and built many skyscrapers in Texas.

[1] Sanguinet & Staats was an architecture firm formed in 1903 by Marshall R. Sanguinet, who had practiced in Fort Worth since 1883, and Carl G. Staats, a draftsman who had worked for James Riely Gordon.

[2][3] The firm established its original office in Fort Worth and later expanded with offices in five Texas cities: Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Waco, and Wichita Falls.

Sanguinet and Staats retired in 1926 after selling their shares to Hedrick.

[5] Although Sanguinet and Staats designed various kinds of buildings, the firm's main business was the design and construction of tall, street-framed office buildings.
