Wilson Building

1623 Main - 1904; loft conversion - 1999

The historic Wilson Building, opened in 1904 and patterned after Paris' Grand Opera House with Second Empire-style architecture, the landmark structure was considered one of the premier commercial structures west of the Mississippi. The plan of the building is "E" shaped with curved corners. It was designed by Sanguinet & Staats of Fort Worth and was the home of the Titche-Goettinger Department Store until 1926, when they moved to a newer and larger building, two blocks east.   For many years, the building was the home of H.L. Green Co.  In 1999, Post Properties converted the historic structure into 135 loft apartments, featuring hardwood floors and a rooftop sky terrace.
