Transform 1012 N. Main St., formed in 2019 by a group of nonprofits, plans to turn the building into a diverse cultural hub for artists, entrepreneurs and...
“It was built to remind the Hispanic and Black and immigrant residents of the North Side that they were constantly under watch, that that they had no agency.”
He says interest in the project is already helping realize its purpose “around conversations about privilege and white supremacy and resources and opportunity and access. These are all conversations just by the project being out there.” A concept rendering of the Fred Rouse Arts and Community Healing Center, which a coalition of nonprofits called Transform 1012 N. Main St. plans to build in the former Texas headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan in Fort Worth.
The former owner donated part of the cost, according to Banks, but he won’t say how much Transform 1012, organized in 2019, wound up paying. A bid at that time to stabilize the building, bringing it up to code, was $1.62 million, he says. The hard costs to turn it into the coalition’s vision is about $35 million. That doesn’t include soft costs like the design.
“I envision a crossroads where all of Fort Worth can gather, where every cultural group feels a sense of belonging, of being seen, represented and listened to,” Banks says. “This is an opportunity for healing on a massive scale.”
