This building is one half of the "City Center" complex. The two buildings are similar, but different even at first glance. They appear to have at one time been glass blocks that were whacked at by some architectural axe, creating deep cuts and sharp protrusions. Architecturally, they were designed as vertical pinwheels in order to create lots of corners for lots of high-priced corner offices.

30 May, 2003 - The Chase Texas Tower in Fort Worth was evacuated because of an electrical fire between the 12th and 13th floors. KXAS Television (channels 5 and 41) reports that it was caused by an electrical short. Once the smoke was blown out of the 33-story skyscraper, people were allowed back in.
