Forney Administration    Forney, TX

The original facility served as the high school and later the middle school for this community school district. After years of use, the building was closed and fell into disrepair.

The district elected to undertake a renovation of the the building and convert the facility into the district administration building and cooperative education services building for the county.

The scope of work included renovation of the existing masonry, wood windows and tile roof. Exterior windows were removed and replaced with custom units to match the existing. The exterior masonry veneer was tuckpointed. The existing clay tile roof was removed and stored while the roofing substrate was repaired. The tiles were eventually reinstalled, with the damaged and missing pieces replaced. Ornamental metals on the exterior and original light fixtures were refinished.

The existing hardwood floors were sanded and refinished on the interior of the building. The original lockers, light fixtures, doors and moldings were restored to their original design and level of finish.

The structure is listed with the State of Texas as having historical significance.
