104 S. Main is changing again, while keeping its history intact.
Work is underway on the redevelopment of this historic building in Fort Worth’s Near Southside. The project is an adaptive reuse of the existing structure, preserving a piece of the neighborhood’s history while giving it new life.
As recently shared by the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, one of the new concepts coming to 104 S. Main is Sink or Swim, a new dive bar from longtime Fort Worth bartender David “Catfish” Flores.
The approximately 6,100-square-foot building is being rehabilitated and divided into two tenant spaces, with improvements planned for the South Main frontage, entrances, patio, landscaping, and parking area.
Northern Crain Property Management is proud to be part of the next chapter for 104 S. Main. In addition to managing the property, our team is overseeing construction as the building is transformed for its next generation of tenants.
Swipe through to see a little of the history behind 104 S. Main and a look at what’s ahead.
