Fortune Arms Apartments
historic place
The Fortune Arms Apartments, a historic place in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, was completed in 1951. This 11-story building was the first multi-family residential development in downtown Fort Worth. It also served as an early example of the Modern Movement architectural style in the city. The apartments helped address a post-World War II housing shortage. In 1971, the Fort Worth Housing Authority acquired the building, converting it to public housing. It is now known as Hunter Plaza. The Fortune Arms Apartments was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. There is no historical marker text available for this location. This site is significant for its contribution to downtown Fort Worth's post-war development and its architectural style.
