View down Throckmorton from 9th St.


Looking north on Throckmorton from around 9th Street.
At left, the Fort Worth City Hall, and behind it the WSL building.
On the right, the Park Central Inn (once called the Downtowner)
and behind the round sign is the old Fort Worth Library, now demolished.
Behind the library is the Continental Bank tower with the clock on top.
The clock was working then, but had to be rotated periodically by manpower
to have it face another direction. This Fort Worth landmark has also been demolished.
