Barfield Building Rehabilitation
Amarillo, TX
Originally the Oliver Rea Eakle Building, the Barfield Building is located on Polk Street in downtown Amarillo, Texas. Constructed in 1926, the Barfield Building is a ten-story building with a basement designed by Wyatt C. Hedrick. The Building was originally designed for office space with retail on the ground floor. The building has been renovated and modified in the past but retains much of its original historical integrity.
The development plan included adapting the building into a boutique hotel with 110 guest rooms, a restaurant, and event accommodations. There is an adjacent parking garage that consists of 130 car spots and a roof deck that includes a fitness center, a full-service bar, and a signature pool.
Architexas was the Architect of Record and the Preservation Architect, providing project design and historic preservation guidance on the exterior and interior design, as well as technical rehabilitation and restoration treatments that comply with the federal historic preservation standards. In addition, Architexas prepared the required Federal Historic Preservation Tax Credit documentation to receive the Federal Tax Credit that includes Part 1, 2, and 3 of the process.
