Alico Building - Waco (TX)

5 /5 Julia DeWitt: Must-see spot for visitors to Waco. Built around 1910. Theres a historical marker on the front of the building and letters glow at night

5 /5 B Nick (PanTX1): One of the few grand buildings still standing from the first skyscraper age. It was also the tallest building west of the Mississippi and south of the Mason-Dixon Line from 1910-1914

5 /5 Akshaya Bhagavathula: AKA Amicable Life Building The ALICO Building is a 22-story office building in downtown Waco, Texas, United States, located on Austin and 5th Streets. It was built in 1910 by the architectural firm Sanguinet & Staats and associate architect Roy Lane, for the Amicable Life Insurance Company at a cost of $755,000. It was completed in only one year. The building is today owned by the American-Amicable Life Insurance Company of Texas (a subsidiary of Industrial Alliance), and remains the tallest building in Waco by far. The acronym "ALICO" is spelled in red neon letters on the top floor, and can be seen for many miles. The ALICO Building was one of the few downtown office buildings that survived the 1953 Waco tornado outbreak. It swayed several feet when the tornado hit it directly, but its steel frame structure allowed it to survive the winds.

5 /5 Maria Stevenson: After watching "Fixer Upper" ever since it began airing in Australia it was a dream to finally see this building in the flesh! It was very close to the Hilton Waco, where we stayed and it was also very close to the wonderful Waco Farmers Market.

5 /5 D. Scott Smith: Cool vibe. I visited Rogue Media on the 21st floor...quite a view!
