D-60  HAMBY BUILDING 325 WEST FORSYTH STREET DATE: 1925 ARCHITECTS: Marsh & Saxelbye BUILDER: Charles J. Davis The Hamby Building, along with the
Palmer Building and the old First Federal Savings Building on either
side of it, form an interesting architectural grouping. The three
buildings are similar in scale, massing, and symmetry, and they each
have fine exterior details. Like the Palmer Building, Marsh &
Saxelbye designed this building, using cast-concrete elements to
highlight the facade: a dentilled cornice, a fan design above the
second-story window, and a bracketed broken pediment containing a
cartouche and garlands of fruit. The building was constructed for
T. B. Hamby, a real estate investor.
