Beck, Sr. bought out the other partners, but maintained the company name until 1946 when it became the Henry C. Beck Company.

  • First Baptist Dallas Completes Largest Church Building Project in Modern History, Contributing to Ongoing Dallas Revitalization
    FOR INFORMATION CONTACT: FOR IMMEDIATE RELASE A. Larry Ross Communications Kristin Cole 972.267.1111 [email protected] Marchelle Michel 972.267.1111 [email protected] First Baptist Dallas Completes Largest Church Building Project in Modern History, Contributing to Ongoing Dallas Revitalization Historic Congregation Goes Against National Church Trend to Build New $130 Million Downtown Campus DALLAS, Feb. 1, 2013 – First Baptist Church of Dallas, led by nationally known pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress, will complete what is believed to be the largest church building campaign in modern history, opening a new state-of-the-art $130 million campus on Easter Sunday, March 31. “At a time when suburban megachurches are the norm and research shows that many people no longer feel the Church is relevant, First Baptist is committed to the Bible and to downtown Dallas,” said Jeffress. “People are hungry not for religion but for the Word of God. First Baptist Dallas is built on the Bible, and because of that we are growing.” This growth prompted First Baptist Dallas to embark on a building campaign in 2009, during the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Though the popular trend among many churches is to acquire and retrofit unused buildings or open smaller, satellite campuses in the suburbs, First Baptist chose to remain in the heart of Dallas – a place where it has been located since its founding in 1868 – in order to continue to serve the residents, business community and guests of Dallas and the surrounding Metroplex. - more - The new First Baptist campus is part of an extensive and impressive ongoing revitalization of downtown Dallas, following the recent opening of several multimillion- dollar museums, theaters and parks.

    Special Collections and University Archives The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) Materials for the America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP), also known as the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission Manuscript Group 74 For Scholarly Use Only Last Modified June 28, 2021 Indiana University of Pennsylvania 302 Stapleton Library Indiana, PA 15705-1096 Voice: (724) 357-3039 Fax: (724) 357-4891 Manuscript Group 74 HABS/HAER Materials 2 Overview In 1987, the National Park Service, in coordination with America's Industrial Heritage Project (AIHP), began an initiative to inventory historic sites in southwestern Pennsylvania. The Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), both of which form a division of the Park Service, began this multi-year historical and architectural documentation project in order to identify surviving historic engineering works and industrial resources in the region. The results of these inventories have been published by HABS/HAER through AIHP, subsequently the Southwestern Pennsylvania Heritage Preservation Commission, and are available to the public. The measured drawings and the large-format photographs produced during this process have been deposited in the Prints and Photographs Division of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. Copies of the drawings and photographs have been deposited at IUP. The remaining research material has also been retained at IUP, including the 35mm photographs taken by the HABS/HAER teams, some research notes and correspondence associated with the project, and maps and blueprints of regional sites and buildings. For more information and photographs of Indiana County including Claghorn, Rexis, Vintondale, and Wehrum, see Manuscript Group 139 Denise Weber Collection.

Although probably not tied directly to the success of that 450+ institution, the completion of the Bilbao certainly solidified a trend.
