This two-story brick building is rectangular in plan with a flat roof. Corner bays are framed in brick piers. Recessed brick banding extends above the second-story windows. Second-story sills and parapet coping are of cast stone. On a corner location next to railroad yards, the building has housed industrial, commercial and residential uses since its construction c. 1921. Built as a speculative property for John B. Laneri (see 902 S. Jennings), its design has been attributed to L. B. Weinman. The first tenant was the Consumers Belt Factory, followed several years later by the Pioneer Belting Co. After 1925, the Central Hotel and Cafe and a barbershop occupied the building. The newly established Harbison-Fischer Mfg. Co. had its first plant here between 1933 and early 1937 (see 2501 Virginia Avenue [since demolished]), followed by the Broadway Inn and Railroad Cafe. Various other industrial tenants occupied portions of the building. By virtue of its location and history (and its faded wall signage), the building is highly evocative of human activities associated with the railroads in pre-World War II Fort Worth. This resource was designated Demolition Delay in 1995 but was subsequently demolished c. 2001. The lower photo was taken shortly before it was demolished.
