7. The TEXAS AND PACIFIC PASSENGER STATION, W. Lancaster Ave. from Main to Throckmorton Sts., was designed according to the ideas of J. L. Lancaster, president of the road. The designer was H. P. Koeppe, the architect, Wyatt C. Hedrick. The station, of modern design, is 13 stones high, with a base of brown polished granite, limestone in the first section, and the upper stories of gray roughtextured brick. On each corner are 10-foot towers on the outside faces of which futuristic eagles have been carved.
