| | | Abandoned Incinerator, Fort Worth, TX < on 1/24/2019 1:43 AM > | Reply with Quote
| | | If you live in the Fort Worth area, then you've almost definitely been here before. Maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen it on here yet. It's a popular spot, and a hangout place for kids. Beautiful artwork, beautiful place. Do NOT recommend a nighttime exploration for this one. ~Kuriosity P.S. Don't mind the timestamps, still learning. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

| | | Posted by ninjaturdius That place looks really old, I wonder what year it was built. Smoke stacks are rad, reminds me of those youtube videos with people climbing them. What is that last pic of? Looks like a ping pong ball with cat ears.
| It's an earring of mine; a pearl with cat ears. There's not a ton of information on this place out there. From what I can gather, it was built in the 50's, but soon after new EPA regulations forced a shutdown and it's been sitting there since the 60's. Several stories about who owns it are running around on the internet. Someone bought it to turn it into a restaurant/dinner theater, a couple bought it with plans to clean it up but never did, etc. etc. It sits right next door to a pickle factory (you wish I was kidding), and some other company that has a lot of trucks going to and from. It's a high-visibility place in some parts, but they seem not to care.

| | | Not bashing the OP at all, as this place is pretty trashed. Just chiming in with some info I found. None the less, that info was found using only info in this post to pin point exact location of this property. Found on Tarrant County GIS data map: Owned by James R D******* Last survey completed by William R L*****; no date listed Built in 1900 It is listed as a refinery 5.8 Acres, comprised of 10 tracts Appraised in 2018 at $21,312 My assumptions: 1900 must be a default for a field that they didn't enter info into, as it was definitely built in the 50's "refinery" is probably classification, not an actual description - everything else I found online does indeed refer to it as an incinerator. $21,000 seems cheap as dirt for almost 6 acres! But I am assuming this is accurate, the it was appraised the prior 4 yrs in a row at $19,560. I have a LOT of free time at work, as I wait on loading software and firmware ;) Found elsewhere: Designed in the mid 1950s by noted Texas architect Wyatt C. Hedrick and built with red brick, the industrial furnace was operational for only a short time before new government guidelines rendered it obsolete in the early 1960s. The owner has been doing business in TX since the 40's. He has owned and operated a refrigeration manufacturing business not far away since the 50's. The owner has rented the property in the past to skateboarders for obstacle courses, and car clubs for shows. Estimated cost to redevelop the property is $3.5m HUGE article on the property from less than a year ago in FW Weekly.
