Tarrant County College is a “district” of campuses throughout Tarrant County in Texas. One of their downtown campuses was purchased along with the tenancy of the RadioShack Corporation's headquarters. At the time RadioShack, the original property owner, was leasing from owners to whom they had sold the property.

It was at this campus, during one of Fort Worth's very rare snowfalls, that I took photographs for this gallery. And, in fact, this particular wintery episode was a low-temperature record breaker.
