link]:
The 90,000 square foot, 5-story 2-part Sanger Brothers Building is defined by ground floor storefronts with elaborate entry canopies, topped by four floors of office space. Accentuated with Spanish Colonial Revival detailing occurring primarily around window openings, atop pilasters ancl at the cornice, it is built of reinforced concrete and faced with smooth ashlar. Symmetrical and rhythmic, the building retains a high level of integrity.
The upper four floors are now The Sanger Lofts. The Fort Worth Convention and Visitors Bureau used to occupy the end on Throckmorton. The Circle Theater occupies the basement.
