The story

Fort Worth's showgrounds cathedral — where livestock culture still fills the seats.

The 1936 landmark complex of coliseum, auditorium, and tower in Fort Worth's Cultural District — still home to livestock shows, rodeos, and major events. Art Deco Texas civic ambition from the Centennial era, still working.
