- Cowtown... with it's 'hell's half acre'. Turn of the century Fort Worth may surprise you (I get a lot of help in this one from a couple junior explorers).

I grew up in Fort Worth and I am a bit of a local historian. Many of these buildings are still around. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
The younger generation has sharp eyes! Made me smile. Never stop thinking and questioning! 🎉Absolutely great episode!
Loved it! I lived in Fort Worth and Weatherford for over 20 years. I was hoping you would get around to Fort Worth! ❤
The other "anomalies" are the "courthouses" as you head west of Fort Worth. Weatherford, Granbury, Mineral Wells, Cisco, Comanche, Stephenville, Glen Rose - to name a few - all have "courthouses" that should have been impossible to build with the number of people in the area at that time.
The 'courthouses' are all over the USA, and typically have windows in their 'basements'. These buried buildings around the USA and the rest of the world are antediluvian, and 'history' was fabricated by tptb to hide real truths like the Flood.
Agree!!
Yes! Also, to add Decatur, Midlothian, Waxahachie, Denton...
@@Go_Play_Outside Thanks for adding to the list! I am not that familiar with the I-35 corridor.
Omg Halloween on the square the Peach Festival, First Mondays, Yesterdays malt shop, Peter fkn Pan.😂 U know ❤❤❤
My hometown! Thx for doing this. I see so many structures still around and repurposed
Remember the old Post Office? It was such a shame they tore it down. That and the Mrs. Baird's bread factory! I can still remember driving into Fort Worth and smelling that bread!
I love that you are teaching this stuff to your kids ❤
The old post office is still there and still in use. It’s a cool old building!
Can't wait for this one!
Hanging on the edge of my seat and waiting for more Old World Exploration!! 😃
Thank u so much for sharing ur findings with us and blessing us with the presence of ur little helper Jr. Explorer ! for me, tartaria is ultimately a message of humanity and humanity would ultimately mean family...and entail what family is and emphasize its importance..
Wonderful!
I love it when you have your Jr explorers on. Their perspective is so amazing and refreshing. I’ve visited Ft Worth in 2005 and I remember them telling us the reason for the wide streets was for the cattle drives to town. Great video Chris, thank you for sharing.
This was awesome! I love your content on your page! Awesome to have the next generation explorers on with you! Very refreshing! Thank you! Keep up the good work! 🙏🏻🎈
Thanks so much!
AWESOME job Daddy!! Teaching the young'ns HOW TO THINK, NOT WHAT TO THINK!!
I love this collaboration!
Cowboy Construction at it's finest!
I like that Cool Clean Fort Worth TEXAS !!!
I lived a few miles northeast of downtown Fort Worth in Haltom City when I was a child . Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome! Thank you for this.😊
19:37 It was not a small Cowtown. It was a major trading center at the west terminus of the railroad and the last stop for provisions before you entered the open expanses off “Indian Territory” as people made their way west. FW is an older city and many people who visit are surprised by the amount of the older ornate architecture we have.
You’re an amazing teacher!!
Thank you! 😃
"How is that progress, though? ". It is great to hear a young mind learning analytical thinking 🤔
While I agree, it’s important to remember these buildings were not necessarily built with all of our necessities today in mind. For example, plumbing is a big one. Secondly electrical. And third hvac. In Texas the environment will literally kill you if you’re lacking one of those three.
Hello, from Fort Worth. Thank you for making this video. I originally am from Dallas, but I moved to Fort Worth in 2019. That year, I found out that my family has a long history in Fort Worth. I also learned in 2019 that my great great great great uncle was a bootlegger during prohibition on Goat Island, which is on Lake Worth. He brewed moonshine there. In 1923 Goat Island got raided by police and he was shot in the spine. He escaped the island and died about a month later. Anyways, I've always been interested in history, but ever since 2019 and I learned about my uncle Melvin and how my family has been in Fort Worth longer than I knew about, I've been trying to learn more about it to teach my currently 10 month old son. We plan on home schooling him one day and I'm always looking for interesting history videos. The more I look into history of the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the more fascinating of a story I'm uncovering about my ancestors, and their lives here. Another interesting story is Hell's Half Acre in Fort Worth. Anyways, I saw this video was just uploaded a few days ago and wanted to say thank you for making it.
I noticed airport decks up on the old skyscrapers. The weather most likely was a factor in the air highways. Good dive! Thanks
Awesome you have Jr eagle eye again🦅👁️😊
Two!...
@@oldworldex that was fun, love to your family and their ever expanding journies, great job! 😊
@@hawaiiguykailua6928 Thank you. Backatcha!
Great episode, love it!
There was a subway for some time in Fort Worth that began coming in from the west on HWY 199/ Henderson St. that ran underneath to the Tandy Center twin towers. I rode it many times in my life and given what I have discovered about mudflood/Tartaria/old world architecture later in life makes me wish it was still in service to investigate.
thank you explorers for your dedication to researching deep into our reality, and especially for your delightful presentations ✨
Our pleasure!
As a child i remember visiting the corn palace in South Dakota and it was completely covered in parts of the corn plant and sorghum plants, very beautiful in patterns, i was 17 then but they don't do it anymore sad.
So wonderful to look and appreciate architectural sciences...and engineering supreme artistry...these little towns and cities...its a marvel...How these buildings were designed...so far back..its a real riddle of times past..our future ...here
I found courthousehistory site today, it's cool as they list by state and counties. Texas has a boatload of great castle pics, I mean courthouses:) 1 gem of a postcard under San Saba, Texas has a question written on it from maybe late 1800s. The guy says to his friend he's writing to, "court house, does this look natural?" it was an awesome find. They probably chucked him in the asylum though🙄
OMG I am so excited you did Fort Worth. Thank you so much.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Growing up in Fort Worth, there were church buses which i think those people were on something similar. Churches go around and pick up ppl willing to go to church that need rides
Hey OWE and Jr…Thanks for another awesome show. Man, your busy. Took all I had to load the D/W and lug out the cans, tonight. Keep ‘em coming. Those lives are a hoot, BTW ☕️🏛
Good stuff
Howdy OWE. Another great one here. "Cowtown" approved. @13:00 Your Jr explorer's exclamation says it all: "Oh... oh wow!" Exactly what I was thinking. Cheers!
Thanks for shootin in from Cowtown north..
Good stuff Brother and junior explorers!!
I was just at the Stockyards in Ft.Worth this past weekend!
The buildings, along with streets, are all red brick. They had some long horned cattle be “drivin” down the maistreet by some genuine cow boys on horse back!
Do your Jr explorers have a channel that shows them discovering the world for themselves? If not, that would be awesome! I know that 3 generations will watch it at my home! Discovering is the most fun thing I have ever done, and I continue to do still! Great video as usual 👌 keep em coming! 👍 Thanks ❤️ Jr Explorers, great input! Looking forward to seeing (hearing?) more from you in future videos! 😊
love it and thank you
Fort Worth is my home 🖤
Shooting each other, drinking whiskey, & building churches 🎯
Texas isn't for everyone 🤠 😉
i am of the opinion that todays construction would not be able to produce these fine architectures
I did a self-guided historical building tour of Fort Worth with my Son and GF recently. I advised my Son beforehand that we would probably see buildings with gryphons, lions and owls, even though I never really walked around Downtown Fort Worth before. Guess what, there were multiple building with those Old World symbols. Some of the oldest looking building are not even on the tour map (linked below).
Also, Fort Worth has a "flatiron" building that looks very similar to the other over 20+ flatiron buildings all over the world. Who builds buildings with the windows half-buried or windows right to the ground?!?!?? The building have ornate carving that actually look like they are similar to 3D prints, rather than being individually hand-carved.
There used to be an elaborate mosque out in Forth Worth by Lake Worth where Mosque Point Park is now. It was there in the very early 1900s and is no longer there. The mosque was taken over by the Freemason/Shriners and they would have gatherings (parties) there.
The Texas Spring Palace in Fort Worth is no longer and was a marvel of masonry that seems difficult or next to impossible to replicate even today.
My Dad told me that corporations got tons of money to build the railroad infrastructure back in the day. I believe that railroad money was used to dig out pre-existing railroad tracks because there are quite a few railroad lines, as that map shows in the video.

thanks for this
the building at 27.56 has much more windows on the left and right. totally different building.
Looked like Arlington heights high school.
36:40 The US Post office was renovated about 10 years ago and it looks fabulous now. Much much nice than the photo in the video.
Omaha, Nebraska had a Blackstone Hotel built in early 1910 and closed in 1976, it's been renamed to the Kimton Hotel now. I worked in the hotel in 1994 for an advertising agency which closed shortly after I left it was called Bozell.
Greco-roaming cowboys could dress up a brickhouse mane
Bravo!
My family founded Acme Brick. We build stuff fast and very well. At about 8 min is was my high school Arlington Hights High School. Still there.
That bank at 27:50 can not be the same as the one in the 'construction photo' .
Just count the windows. ;)
I didn't know that it took them two years to build the current courthouse. They say that it was so expensive that they were voted out office. The exterior was used in Walker Texas Ranger in the 1980s.
Oh this is going to be funny.
My home town and my family was here starting in the 1840s
Studied Fort Worth history 1/2 year 4th grade at West Van Zandt elementary (now torn down) university drive and Lancaster nw side. 1946.
The court house was used in the television series Walker, Texas Ranger. Edison Fort Worth but on the series it made you think it was in downtown Dallas
This was great man ; I did grow up about 20 miles from ft worth and it’s comical the dates they give from being built until they murder it ,torch it,flood it or just bury it. The ridiculous contests they have for architects that win the “contest” . Just dumb
Old charm can't cover the cost of demolition and back tax's.
The building at 8:13 is Arlington Heights High school, though when it was first built I think it was a college.
Been doing my own research of the city I'm from, San Antonio. It definitely has Old World architecture, especially with the destroyed structures like the Carnegie Public Library of San Antonio. A cool piece of still existing tech is the Hertzberg clock! In one of the oldest pictures I found of it, muddy streets with a clock sticking out like a sore thumb in beauty and elegance with its design lmao
Thanks for sharing!
It is got a lot of what I would describe. I don’t know what other word to say very Phoenician architecture in Fort Worth. All the buildings look like they were castles, for Giants turned into a bank, a church after they were founded or stolen who knows
its weird how if buildings were buried...but right under the mud we see brick roads? im confused as to why this would be...if buildings are buried many feet, why would we see the old tartarian roads?
Good question
two phase?
@@oldworldex how would that work? The Old basement window being a buried first floor doesn't jibe with the level of Old cobblestones.
@@vapormissile two stages of civilization? Honestly not sure...can only speculate.
@@oldworldex oh right. History wiggles around like a frog.
And a child says "how is that progress?"
The cattle is us
Prompted me to look into less "tame" YMCA buildings. Absolutely insane history. YMCA began in London, England in 1844 as a Christian organization to provide activities to young men whose main options at the time were "brothels and taverns" for recreation. It was also intended as a vehicle for promoting protestantism founded on the principles of "muscular Christianity". In 1878 the world headquarters were established in Geneva, Switzerland. 100 years later The Village People's song by the same name "greatly increased public recognition of the institution." A very queer history indeed 😂🤣
30:48 The Central High School was renamed 15:40 Paschal High School, then Trimble Technical High School.
The courthouse is still there. Del Friscoe's Steakhouse is another old building.
8:15 that is Arlington Heights High School
Yep, dear sweet AHHS…and wherever we may roam…class of 55.
At 36:57 I laughed when I saw the goofy looking cows and skull. The rough and inaccurate work is much different from the level of talent and detail on other features of the building. Also the metal round thing above must be some sort of occult symbol but not one I've seen and know about. Does anyone know what it represents?
my thoughts as well..
I think it represents/ symbolize “Hermes” as it looks like the wheel with Angel wing. I read up about this a while ago and can remember Hermes is said to be the God of, travelers, thieves, cunning, shepherds, boundaries and speed (and some other things) In newer myth Pan is said to be the son of Hermes. Hmm :)
The brick is from Thurber TX
I lived there.
To be fair, I still attend the first United Methodist Church. A lot of the history of the church is on site.
Blackstone interesting opened weeks before the crash and great depression....BS. 😂
🤔
The amount of money from the cattle and oil was ridiculous.
6:26 The sign has 3 of the letter 'X' (two X's and two of the 1/2 X's). X is 6 in pythagorean numerology, so we get 666 on the sign. Also you have the 2 pillars, Joachim and Boaz.
Great channel! I love alt history research, because real history is completely false.
Great catch!!!!!
Great noticing!!
I will say.. a small cowboy town in Texas doesn't sound very strange to me (also some of the brick road is still there)
Exactly 😂
I wonder if different races of Humans built these buildings showing off there talent style to each other ?
How come no one reads the New Testament that Jesus DID return in the first century like He said He would...It explains a lot
In Fort Worth, it's not vanilla sky, it's all the gun smoke from the cowboys shooting their pistols in the air as they rode their horses into town! What a joke...
It doesn’t make sense because Fort Worth should not have the buildings that has downtown that look Venetian and I guess but we would call Roman columns no way!! and it’s completely lifted streets downtown. There’s a whole Nother world below Fort Worth no doubt in my mind.😊😊😊😊
Lose the music. Unwatchable.
Very possible they were picking p kids for Sunday school not site seeing...
Your child is going to have to unlearn a lot of what you’re telling him, I’m afraid. And your opinions! Oversimplification on steroids.
