Subject: Ft. Worth Flatiron Building - 1907
Thank you for the Great article and photo's of my favorite building in the entire metroplex!!!!! As a lover of the unique, and a D/FW designer for the last couple of decades, I've had a fascination with the Ft. Worth Flatiron Building since my first sight of it...... - S. Hanks

Our Johnston family really enjoyed the article on the Neils Esperson Bldg. The decorative masonry is also a tribute to the work of my husbands grandfather Hugh White Johnston..... - The Johnston Family

Thank you so much for Texas Escapes web page. I found it while I was looking for info about the Mellie and Neils Esperson Buildings. When I was born in 1941, my dad, Henry Edward Criss, Sr., was working as a pipefitter, building the Mellie. I am writing a chronology of his and my life and I needed info about these two important buildings -- and here it is on the Internet -- for us all to enjoy. - Dona Criss Terry, Houston, Texas
