Amarillo Texas
As the fourteenth most-populous city in Texas, Amarillo is one of the seats of industry in the state. The city is the self-proclaimed “Helium Capital of the World” and largest city in the Texas Panhandle, making it one of Texas’s more well-known cities.
The first half of the 1900s was the period of the most economic growth for Amarillo, and you can absolutely see it in the architecture of Amarillo itself. There are a variety of buildings all across Amarillo, all of which have different heights and many of which have very historical designs.
For a number of reasons, industrial services in Amarillo have absolutely skyrocketed. After all, with so many buildings around Amarillo, people are going to need an easy way to maintain them. City Wide is a great choice for anyone looking to maintain their Amarillo buildings more effectively.
Historic Buildings In Amarillo Texas
Historic buildings in Amarillo date back to around 1900, when Amarillo’s economy was really booming. That means it’s common for Amarillo buildings to have a significant Plains style to them, especially buildings that got their start many years ago. Many of these buildings put function first, leading to a very unique architectural style that Amarillo is very proud of.
When you take a look at the skyline of Amarillo, one thing you’ll notice almost immediately is the FirstBank Southwest Tower, previously the Chase Tower, which dominates the area. Its 374-foot height and 31 floors absolutely dwarf the next-largest building, the Amarillo National Bank, which stands at only 16 floors, though both were built in 1971.
Because of Amarillo’s history of over 100 years, there are plenty of historic places for you to experience in Amarillo. Plus, with plenty of historical and preservation societies available, Amarillo is a great place to go if you’re looking for a way to experience historical Texas culture.
The beauty of Amarillo is something that anyone can see for themselves. No matter who you are or what type of architecture you typically enjoy, you can just look around and notice exactly how incredible Amarillo truly is.
Building maintenance is an important element of having a beautiful company building in Amarillo. There are many things you might need to do to maintain an Amarillo building, but for the most part, it boils down to three elements: beauty, structure, and DIY fixes.
The beauty of your building is obviously an important element of maintenance, especially in beautiful Amarillo, Texas. City Wide can help with window washing, pressure washing, and high dusting, all of which can be crucial for business buildings in the city.
Another important element to consider is the structural integrity of whatever building you’re in. Structural integrity is especially important in a historical area like Amarillo, which tends to have many older buildings. City Wide offers building restoration, anchor inspection, and anchor installation, which can help your building retain its structural integrity regardless of how old it is.
There are also some DIY fixes that you may be able to do with your own building, especially if it’s a single-story building. To help you with that, City Wide offers equipment rentals and anchor load test certification, making it much easier for your company to take things into its own hands if need be.
Amarillo’s initial incorporation was in 1889, though it was the discovery of natural gas and oil in the early 1900s that really put the place on the map. You can see that long history through the building designs that Amarillo boasts.
Of course, whether your business ends up in a historical building or one that was built in just the last few decades, you’re going to need to invest in upkeep for your building. Don’t assume that only old buildings need upkeep and new buildings are fine.
It’s true that older buildings will typically need more upkeep than newer buildings. This upkeep tends to revolve around structural stability. Once you know the building is structurally stable, you can then maintain its appearance.
Newer buildings tend to have the structural stability problems worked out. However, it’s still important to invest in yearly inspections and make sure you’re taking active steps to avoid structural stability problems. Appearance issues are easier to fix.
