Texas and Pacific warehouse - 05-04-2009, 05:00 PM


Does anybody know if the you are able to get inside and get any pictures. Haven't been down there in a while and last I heard it was being converting into condos and lofts.

This is the warehouse in downtown ft worth over on lancaster I believe.

They were being converted into loft apartments, I think. Not sure if it ever happened.

I believe that they HAVE been converted, noticed a sign on one of the buildings advertising them for lease when I went to Main St a couple weeks ago.

The T&P Headquarters building has been converted. The Warehouse, to the west of the HQ building, is where they used to run paintball and is not occupied at the moment. I havent seen it open anywhere in the last couple of years.

I was at a party there last night. There is a restaurant (think it's called T&P Grill) that is in a semi-open air atrium setting. Kind of hard to describe but is a huge space with some interesting possibilities. If you are in the area it's worth checking out. I'll try to post some pics of the space if I get over there again.

The Grill is in the old Train Departure lounge area that is mostly open air and I-beams in the ceiling. The ticketing area still has the great art deco look to it but the Grill has a good following at least from the residents. I have had a couple of the sandwiches and they do a good job with them.

a block over to the right of that building where the old paint ball used to be there seems to be acess from one of the doors in the back side not sure though.. I shoot there all the time from out doors never been inside but have seen homless folks walking around back from there...

so not sure how cool it would be on your own.

would be a cool venture with a group...

I have been inside although it's been a few years. There are some great shots to be had there but I would recommend taking someone, preferrably a seasoned urbexxer, with you. It is a major haven for homeless and while many are pacified by a little throwdown (a pack of cheap cigs works wonders) some can be quite territorial and could turn violent. Many have mental problems and I know of one that takes lithium for manic depression. The entry point is not an esy thing either, a cut out security screen. (small hole to squeeze through with sharp and jagged barbs sticking out) There may be another way in but you'd have to stake out the place and watch the homeless and see where they go.
