If you've ever seen an episode of Fixer Upper, you've probably seen this flag. I remember the first time I saw the Alico building.
Artemas R. Roberts helped finance the building of the Alico building, and construction began in 1910. It's located on the corner of Austin Avenue and Fifth Street and was the first skyscraper built in Texas. It remained the tallest building until 1922, but it's still the tallest in Waco. In my research I read that for entertainment, people in Waco would watch the construction of the building. I'm sure it was an amazing adventure.
Positive conversations with old and new friends. I'd love for you to join me on my back porch.
