The Electric Building is an 18-story Art Deco and Spanish Renaissance styled building located in downtown Fort Worth, Texas. Construction on the building began in December 1927. Prominent architect Wyatt C. Hedrick was chosen to design the building. The building also housed the Texas Electric Service Company and the Hollywood Theater. In 1929 a six-story annex was constructed on an adjoining lot. Interfirst Bank purchased the building in 1974. After closing the Hollywood Theater, it was remodeled as a banking facility. The building was purchased by Robert Bass in 1984. In 2009 it was purchased by Atlas properties. It was added to the National Register in 1995.
