| Lone Star Gas Company Fort Worth, TX |

The Lone Star Gas Company office building was designed by Wyatt C. Hedrick and built in 1929. The top three floors were added in 1957. The revolving, neon flame sign was built by the Federal Electric Sign Co. and installed then. The flame represented the company's logo and was lit with blue and white neon. It stopped revolving in 2004. Some people remember the flame having an animated flicker.
The gas company no longer exists and the building now houses city offices. The sign, which is about 20 feet tall, was removed in 2018 and moved to city storage. There were concerns that it was no longer structurally sound. It was restored and reinstalled in 2023. The neon was replaced with LED tubing and the sign revolves. For more, see this website. [map] |
