The Report:
Designed by noted Fort Worth architect Wyatt C. Hedrick in the 1920’s, the building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Historic 512 is owned and operated by the local non-profit Center for Transforming Lives, which helps women, children and their families move from poverty to independence. Rental fees support programs that help women and children live in safety, earn with dignity and save for a better tomorrow. Note that the Historic 512 is NOT associated with the YWCA, which is across the street and share’s a similar address and the parking lot is located next to theirs.
