10ft tall hedge in AZ?
This is my first post to this forum and I'm hoping you can all help me out. I'm getting ready to install a 10ft solar panel structure in my backyard. I would like to grow a hedge around the perimeter of it to hide it from being an eye sore in the community. I'm trying to find a hedge that I can build that will be green, year round preferably, and grow to 10ft tall. This hedge will be over 60ft long. Given that I live in Arizona I know sometimes it's hard to find plants that stay green or do not die part of the year. If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated!
Here is a link that might be useful: A Recent Thread
I have some Oleander and quite honestly I'm not completely impressed with the way they look. But it could be because I do not trim it back enough. I realize I live in AZ and I cannot be too picky. I want green, tall, desert climate hedge.
I love the way the Privets look. Will those survive in Arizona? Do they require a ton of water or are they pretty drought tolerant like Oleanders? I believe Privets are what I posted in my picture originally if I'm not mistaken, correct?
Any other suggestions or options?
you could try some ornamental citrus. I've seen quite a few houses around central phoenix that use them as hedges. They stay green all year long. Even in the cold weather they seem to stay relatively green.
Ficus hedges would look good too but really cold winters would get them.
Arizona yellow bells would work too and they're fast growing.
Whittaker, Check out this link to a booklet about Plants for the Arizona Desert. It may give you some good ideas. There is no section on 'hedges', but try browsing 'trees' and 'shrubs'. You may find something that will work for you. These are all low water.
Here is a link that might be useful: Landscape Plants for the Arizona Desert
@lazygardens thanks for that. That bush almost looks like the Oleander, which again, I'm not completely fond of. However, I truly do like the "green" aspect of it in which there is little water required. Makes a lot more sense in our desert climate. Any idea where I can purchase these? I would like to see them in person. Does Home Depot carry them? I like shopping there because of their 1 year policy if I kill anything inadvertently.
lazy, thanks for the reminder about hop bush. We have been struggling to decide what would be the best solution for sections of our 'green' lady banks hedge that are dying out. I've been talking to Whitfills (I have a $100 gift coupon for that nursery) about oleander and they have ordered some for me. After reading your post I called the guy there yesterday that I've been working with, told him the situation and asked what he would recommend. Heartily replied "hop bush". So, hop bush it is.
We don't know what's wrong with the lady banks, we planted them in 2005 to cover a chain link fence that runs 150' along the alley behind our lot. Here and there along the fence line, some have died or are dying.
@marymcp what I really don't like about the hop bush is the brown undertone of the bottom of the leaves. It almost makes the bush look like it's dead or brown in color.
With this being said I went to the Home Depot on Val Vista and the 60 and there is a really cool guy that works in the garden department who also specializes in this. He informed me that most people do not like Oleander's because they're not properly trimmed and grow out of control. He assured me that he has in many times hedged Oleander's to where people where completely shocked that was even the plant. He said with proper maintenance Oleanders are one of the best hedge plants in Arizona. He also made a good point that they will survive through anything, heat, cold, lack of water, etc. This is the route I decided to go with my purchase yesterday.
I also plan on adding a few Wisteria vines/trees to my backyard canopy. After finding the Japanese Wisteria garden online these look like they will create a very nice ambiance in my backyard.
I appreciate everyone's suggestions.
thanks for the reply whittaker. It's been a tough decision and frankly we don't feel we have to do all one shrub. We do have some oleanders now and I'd like to try the hop bush. I already know about oleanders and thevetia's as well as the lady banks, which I have really liked for a long time. Not sure what went south with that hedge. I've recently added some beneficial nematodes and hubby whacked errrrr, pruned them back and up away from the ground. Maybe they will rebound in spring. Meantime, we'll fill in with a combination (probably) of both oleanders and hop bush. I don't mind the color change but are you sure it's the green hop bush that changes color?
You might look at primrose jasmine as a nice vine, it's great. Here's the LB hedge in it's prime - this was April 2008, they were about 3 years then.
sour orange...plant 4 feet apart..they are a little slower on the growing end but do make a nice hedge. we had 6 footers planted in in spring and now they are around 8 foot just need them to start filling in..PS they got really sharp thorns for protectionand can grow up to around 15 feet high if you want them...in LA they grow to 30 in some areas...
jojoba is nice, evergreen, or ever silver really since it is more of a silver color. red barberry is nice too. have you considered a trellis/vine combo? That would give you more options
So I have built my solar panel structure and you can see it is quite intrusive in the neighborhood. Can anyone offer any suggestions to quickly hiding this thing as to not upset my neighbors!? I was considering a faux ivy trellis that you can purchase on Amazon but to go the 40ft length it would be rather costly and I'm not sure if that would look tacky or actually suffice. I'm open to any suggestions here. Thanks in advance for your time.
First, I'd paint it to match the fence.
Then plant a few fast-growing, slender trees between it and the fence ... SKINNY ones like palo blanco, shoestring acacia, etc. to break up the outline of the panel supports.
That's probably faster and more effective than having a 40-foot wall of green behind the already tall concrete fence.

What's New
Mahjong Solitaire
Mahjong solitaireis a solitaire matching game that uses a set of mahjong tiles rather than cards. It is also known as Shanghai solitaire, electronic or computerized mahjong, solitaire mahjong and erroneously as mahjong. The tiles come from the four-player game known as mahjong.
A tile that can be moved left or right without disturbing other tiles is said to be exposed. Exposed pairs of identical tiles (Flower and Seasons tiles in the same group being considered identical) are removed from the layout one at a time, gradually exposing the lower layers to play. The aim of the game is to clear the layout by pairing up all the tiles. The game is finished when either the layout is empty, or there are no exposed pairs remaining.

Small gestures can make the biggest impact. Students of the Electronics & Computer Engineering (ECE), Centre for Extension Activities (CEA) in KL University, did a few simple little things, but in all their earnestness, and their gesture touched the hearts of the young inmates of Chinmaya Vijaya, an orphanage for girls.
Located at a distance of 2 km from the holiday resort Haailand at Chinakakani, the orphanage stands amidst a lush green carpet, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Peace and tranquillity pervades the vicinity.
Taking a break from their frenzied lifestyle, the students headed to this destination to spend an eventful day with the inmates. The young inmates leading a life away from normal homes, where parents shower love and affection on their children and fulfil their every desire, are in the process of taking wobbly steps towards life. The 'We Care for You' message of the students came out loud and clear in the series of activities that kept the young girls engaged and entertained.
Besides singing, dancing, all done impromptu sans any make-up or prior rehearsals, there was this free-flowing interactive session that helped the inmates open up and speak out and share their ideas and some of their deepest emotions with their 'new friends'.
In the afternoon, it was time to enjoy a scrumptious lunch which was followed again by entertainment and exciting competitions in games, singing and other activities. The girl students managed to strike an immediate chord and shared their knowledge on key issues with the inmates. They said there was nothing that could stop them from achieving success in life if they were willing to work hard.
The free-flowing interactive session helped the inmates of the orphanage open up and share their ideas and some of their deepest emotions with KL University students

How to build a "Home build worm bin"
Below I will show you detailed instructions that will help you to build great 3 tier homemade worm compost bin.
You will see a picture of it attached!
If you want to see the instructions with all the helpful photos than have a look at the website below.
Building a homemade worm compost bin is not a difficult task.
On this page you will learn how to build a 3 tier worm composting bin!
Follow the guide below and build your homemade worm compost bin today!
To get started you will need the following tools and accessories:
÷ Power drill
÷ Hole saw set
÷ Drill bit 6 mm / 0.23 inches
÷ Jigsaw or strong scissors (optional)
÷ 3 stack-able plastic bins of the same size
÷ 1 lid or / plastic sheet
÷ 1 tap or cork
÷Start with the 2 bins that will house the worms.
Drill plenty of holes of about 6mm / 0.23 inch into the bottom of two bins.
The holes should be about 5 cm / 1.96 inches apart from each other.
These holes are important to prevent the worm bin from becoming flooded.
The worms need oxygen to survive and could drown!
Next drill a hole for your tap into the front side of the 3 rd
bin. If you canâÂÂt get hold of a tap use a cork of a wine bottle instead.
Make sure the hole saw bit or drill bit you use will be just a tiny bit bigger than the diameter of your tap that you want to attach to the bin.
Drill the hole for the tap as low on the wall of the worm bin as you can, but leave enough space so you can fasten the nut of the tap inside the bin to ensure a tight fit.
÷Next attach the tap to the bottom bin.
Now you will need a lid for your worm farm. If your bins came with a fitting lid thatâÂÂs great. If not youâÂÂll have to make one yourself.
Get a plastic sheet that is the same size as the surface of your bins or slightly bigger.
The sheet should be 3 to 5mm / 0.11 to 0.19 inches thick.
Like the one in the photo below.
Place one of the bins upside down on top of the plastic sheet .
Mark the lid with a pen or pencil to show the edges of the bin.
Saw the marked edges of with a jigsaw or cut them off with a strong pair of scissors.
÷Assemble the bin and you are ready to start your worm composting project!
Most worm bins will stand outside. If you want to use
your worm bin outdoors place a small flower pot on top of the lid to keep it in place in case of wind! Your worm farm should not stand in full sun as this might cause a serious problem for your worms on a very hot day.
Good places to place your worm bin are in shaded areas. Under a tree, in the garage or in a shed in the backyard.
Enjoy your worm bin
Kind regards ...
I'm posting to this incredibly detailed and delightfully explicit instruction tome mainly to get it off the top of the list, but also to offer my congrats to worm-composting-help for his perserverance in writing it, and to those on the forum who have completed the instructions so far.
I'm just funning folks, sorta, I know written instructions seem more cumbersome.
What these instructions neglect to say is that the stackable bins don't seem to be space savers... Unless I'm missing something... There seems to be handy dandy supports along the sides to keep them from crushing the contents of the one below it. I know the stores by me don't have these containers.
It isn't neccesary to use the exact containers pictured. Any type of tote can be used (like Rubbermaid). As for crushing the contents below, I use two bricks laid flat on the bottom tote to make sure the tote above it isn't sitting in liquid. And when you start with the third tote (the link Stephan provided explains how to use the 3 tote system) the contents still in the second tote holds the third tote up. What I wrote probably left you even more confused (LOL) but if you check out the link you should be able to understand.

Kam Chancellor hurdles line to block field goal (Video)
Kam Chancellor nearly pulled off an awesome field goal block just before halftime in the Seahawks-Panthers playoff game on Saturday. Chancellor knew the Panthers' snap count and timed it perfectly to hurdle the center and affect the field goal. Graham Gano's first 35-yard attempt was good but waved off because of a false start penalty….Read More

Paint, Paint, And More Paint
Just when you thought we were all painted out on Monday, I'm back with another painting update. With this bun of ours arriving in five short weeks, it's lighting a "paint all the things!" fire under my rear. I know that being laid up with a c-section will mean staring at all of the not-done things on the ol' to-do list, so humming through a few of them before the little man is here will hopefully put my nesting slash home-making mind at ease. So we set our sights on the upstairs hallway.
It connects so many rooms (the nursery, our room, the hall bath, Clara's room, the guest room, the laundry, etc) that we thought it would be a nice "bang for our buck" spot in the sense that we walk through it ten million times a day, so we'd notice a nice fresh paint job.
You know, instead of seeing the same over-sprayed edges from painting the trim back in May of last year (has it really been that long?!).
It also connects to the stairwell that we painted back in November, and the foyer that we painted last July. So when we picked that color for the foyer (Edgecomb Gray, which reads more like a soft tan color in our house then an actual gray), we selected it knowing that it would travel up the stairs and eventually grace the hallway up there as well. We like that it's a simple and light neutral, so it won't make the stairs or that interior hallway feel dark, and it allows us to use a bunch of other colors in adjoining rooms without worrying that they'll clash. For example, we have coral, blue, red, and soft pink on the walls (and ceiling) of Clara's room…
… as well as a deep moody blue in our master bedroom.
Meanwhile, the walls of the guest room, laundry nook, and hall bathroom up there have yet to be painted… so we also like that the hall color leaves those wide open.
You can actually see where our stairway paint job ended in this pic. Elegant, eh? Look at that line we just randomly painted on the ceiling. That thing cracked me up and irked me all at the same time.
The hallway is sort of like two or three rooms of its own. It's 33 feet from the laundry nook to our master bedroom, and there are a whole lotta doorways (eight) and lights (three) to cut in around. I don't usually mind cutting in too much though. It's tedious, but it makes me feel accomplished if that makes sense. As I go I'm all "three doorways down, five to go – turtle power!" I also ponder things like why mashed potatoes and milkshakes have so many calories while things like celery and water have virtually none. Or why there's not one cheat day each year when everyone can magically consume anything they want and not gain any weight. My pregnant mind clearly puts a lot of thought into food.
Clara also got in the action. Not by painting, but by lending positive vibes, singing various Frozen songs, and dancing around with a giant piece of ribbon like a tiny color guard.
All told, it was around five hours of cutting in across two days (it took two coats) and John swooped in to do the rolling, which also took two coats but went quite a bit faster (maybe three hours total across two days?). I thought of a few painting tips to share with you guys as I went, so here they are:
- Even if you can reach up and roll the high parts without an extension pole, it's a lot easier on the ol' back if you break one out.
- We painted the ceiling the same color as the walls since it's a light color and we wanted that seamless look instead of accenting the ceiling as a separate plane in this case (we also tend to do that in bathrooms).
- Try painting with some tunes on to make it go faster (or news radio, or a book on tape, or a tiny dancing preschooler, or some other auditory form of entertainment).
- A short handled 2″ angled brush is my favorite cutting in weapon. Seriously, read the comments on this old post of yesteryear to see how many people commented that it changed their life. I promise I'm not exaggerating – it's a huge time saver.
- We don't use a dropcloth over hardwoods because seven years of painting have made us pretty neat, and we've found that the occasional floor drip is easy enough to wipe up if it's wet or even pop off with your fingernail if it's dry.
- Stop thinking about food. It's weird.
And here's our wahoo-it's-done result:
It's a pretty dramatic update from what it looked like back when we bought the house.
Here's the freshly painted result from the other side (with my back to the bedroom). Ugh, I can't wait to rehang some doors to block our dark little laundry area in the back.
But the view of pretty much everything else is looking a whole lot fresher…
… so we're really glad we knocked it out pre-Barnacle.
For anyone looking for a tutorial on changing out your outlets, John did a giant infographic about it here. And for here's a how-I-cut-in-without-taping-most-things-off video, from back when we were painting our guest room:
Before I go I thought I'd share all the paint colors we've used in our house to date (along with four that we're thinking about adding). It's fun to compare it to our first whole-house-palette post for this house to see how many are the same, how many are close but not exact, and how many have changed since that was just a bunch of guesses about where we thought we were headed last July.
Here's the key to what's what:
- Our Bedroom (Black Pepper)
- Our Kitchen (Nelson Blue)
- Foyer/Hall (Edgecomb Gray)
- Possible Nursery Accent Color? (Grassy Fields)
- Nursery Built-Ins (Senora Gray)
- Nursery Walls (Going To The Chapel)

Are any of you guys also on a painting bender? Or just rushing to check other things off before an impending deadline? I gotta say, I slept like a baby after all that edging, and I'm usually an insomniac these days, so it was pretty sweet.
Using A Paint Sprayer For Trim Instead Of A Brush
Whilst discussing office plans last week, a few of your comments about the blue trim situation in that room were the push that we needed. We were fooling ourselves to think we should paint all that trim by hand (we're talking baseboards, crown molding, and five windows totaling 66 individual panes). So we decided to bite the bullet, break out the paint sprayer, tape everything off, cross our fingers and toes that we didn't get any bleed-through on those wood floors, and say hasta la vista to some more blue trim this weekend.
We had painted all of the upstairs trim with the sprayer before we moved in and before the new floors went down, which was an easy no-brainer decision (nothing to worry about ruining). But for the downstairs trim that we've tackled (just in the kitchen and foyer so far) we've worked by hand – mainly because those rooms needed to be remain functional during painting, so we didn't want to cover them with paper, plastic, and tape while a fog of paint-spray flew through the air. The office, however, didn't have much furniture to move out, and could easily be sectioned off in a paint quarantine for a few days. So we went for it.
Last Thursday morning we emptied the room (except for the file cabinet, which was heavy enough that we decided just to cover it) and basically took over the dining room and foyer with all of the displaced items. Good thing we're comfortable with chaos by now.
As excited as we were to attack this blue trim using a new method (we've never taped off a room to spray it before) we were both curious to determine if we felt like it was ultimately much of a time saver, since the prep is obviously a lot more intense. Although some things – like wiping down the to-be-painted surfaces and taping off the floor – would've happened anyways.
Next we rolled rosin paper out all over the floor since we've learned that paint mist gets EVERYWHERE from our particular brand of sprayer (which I'll admit I'm growing less enamored with). We did our tape edging and our rosin paper as separate steps, just so we could focus on getting the taped edges nice and secure (paint on the hardwoods = our nightmare) before shifting our focus to taping each row of paper down. It meant that we ended up using more painter's tape than we probably needed to, but the extra precaution felt like good nervous-first-timer insurance.
So here's the room with the floors all taped over. Clara thought it was the coolest thing ever, especially when we let her come draw on the floors while we worked on the next prep step: windows.
I'll admit I was a bit perplexed about what to do with the windows. I've heard lots of talk about "liquid masking film" that you can paint on your windows before spraying, which helps the dried paint just peel off seamlessly afterwards. It sounded awesome, but after reading some message boards it started to feel too good to be true. Lots of pro painters complained that it took 2 or 3 coats of it to work, so most recommended just doing the old fashion scrape technique anyways.
Wanting to save ourselves a bit of trouble, Sherry came up with the idea to roughly cut some rosin paper squares and tape them to the center of each pane. We didn't meticulously cover every edge, but figured this would at least save us time on the back-end from scraping the entirety of each of those 66 panes. I left one empty just to test if the paper was a waste of time (spoiler: it wasn't – that uncovered pane was a giant pain!). Oh and that big paper-covered thing between the windows is Sherry's overflowing bulletin board full of Clara-art that we decided to just cover instead of removing (it was nailed right into the wall at the four corners as opposed to hanging on a hook).
With furniture out (or covered), floors protected, and windows "dressed" our last prep step was to seal off the office from the rest of the house. We carefully taped up a tarp across the doorway (on both the inside and outside of the door frame) and then used this handy instant zipper thing we found at Home Depot (it basically sticks to any tarp and then you slice an opening as you unzip it, giving you a resealable doorway in your tarp. Best $10 we spent on this whole project. That thing was airtight, which meant it single-handedly kept all of that swirling primer and paint dust from sneaking out into the foyer (while still allowing me to enter and exit the room between coats for a lot less hassle than a taped off tarp would provide).
Next, Sherry saluted me and wished me luck as I loaded in all of my supplies: paint sprayer (we have a Graco Truecoat II), extension cord, and a can of primer (we used Kilz Premium). I also got dressed in the painters suit and booties that I bought and told Sherry to send reinforcements if I didn't emerge in a few hours. I don't know why, but I was actually kinda nervous about how this would go.
Well, it didn't go great. At least it got off to a rocky start. For starters, my paint sprayer immediately got clogged, so before I could aim it at any blue trim, my hands were covered in primer and my sprayer was sputtering and leaking. About 30 minutes later, I was finally spraying. By this time it was about 4pm, and between clouds rolling in and all the paper on the windows, the room was suddenly pretty dark. And it only got darker as I sprayed the windows with primer. I'm so used to this room being crazy bright that I hadn't even thought about needing a work light. Oops.
I actually didn't own any work lights that we didn't mind getting misted with paint spray (between this and just recently buying a dolly, you guys are probably questioning our preparedness) so I ran out to Home Depot after I was done with the primer coat and bought a couple, along with the trim paint that I'd need the next morning (Simply White in semi-gloss by Ben Moore). The lights revealed that my priming wasn't perfect, but it'd do the trick.
After letting the primer dry overnight (and thoroughly cleaning and de-clogging the sprayer) I woke up early the next morning (Friday) ready for my first coat of paint. This is the room right after I finished that coat. Note the paint fog.
After cleaning the sprayer once again, I let that coat dry the entire day since we had showhouse stuff to do that afternoon in Northern Virginia. I was hoping the next morning (Saturday) would just be a clean up day, but we weren't entirely satisfied with that single coat of paint. It did a great job covering, but it didn't get all of the various nooks and crannies of the trim.
This was one of my fears about spraying this room because it's virtually impossible to get all of the angles and sides of the trim in one swoop, and you can't just go back right away and spray from a new angle because you'll apply too much paint and get drips. So instead of getting to dive into clean-up with Sherry on Saturday, I did a second coat of paint in an effort to get those spots that the first coat missed.
So now we were on Day 3 of paint quarantine in our office, which was also looking not so pretty from the outside. Luckily by now I think the neighbors are used to us always being the middle of a project, so it doesn't really raise many eyebrows anymore.
We let the second coat dry all day Saturday, and started the clean-up process yesterday morning. You can tell by the photo above that our homemade window coverings were far from perfect. We learned just how imperfect they were as we started to peel them off… leaving chunks of rosin paper stuck behind in various places. I was ready to curse our decision, and the time we had invested, in those quick little coverings.
Sherry and I tag-teamed window scraping, since neither of us had the stamina (or the hand strength) to scrape 66 windows clean ourselves. The coverage was so thick (one coat of primer, two of paint) that it took lots of effort to peel it off, but some serious scraping did the trick. In the end, the best method we found was using straight razors to get most of the windows clean, and then going back to scrape the corners with an exacto (we also tried using a putty knife for those corners, which was a little bigger and harder to control, but also worked semi-well).
This basically ate up half of our Sunday (with breaks to feed Clara, hand her a few new activities, take bathroom breaks, etc). It sucked. I won't lie. The whole time I was brainstorming what I'd do differently and it mostly boiled down to not owning windows, which I don't think is a great solution.
But I said above that we don't regret the rosin squares. That's because the pane that we'd left completely uncovered was ten times worse. Maybe even a hundred times worse. My fantasies of this one magically peeling off in one giant sheet were far from reality. It was hard and grippy, so we could only chip it off slowly. It took Sherry a good 30 minutes to do just this one pane.
But by around one in the afternoon we had them all cleaned and enjoyed a nice celebratory lunch. It was glorious to have our bright office back (and even brighter).
We considered calling it quits from here (our hands were both aching) and we thought it might be nice to leave the paper down while we painted the rest of the room (walls & ceiling), but I was getting paranoid that our rosin paper on the floor had only performed as well as it had on the windows (I was picturing giant blobs of paint having leaked through) so we went ahead and peeled it up. And it was PERFECT. Phew!
So here's the room as of now (Sunday afternoon, when I'm writing this). It's looking a bit gnarly with all of the over-spray beyond the trim on the walls and ceiling… but there's no blue in sight!
We're excited to go ahead and paint the ceiling and walls, since we figure it'll be easier with all of the furniture still out. And we're used to painting without the floors being completely covered, so there was no harm done by pulling up all that rosin paper.
But our trim-painting task isn't quite over. For some reason my second coat of paint was especially drippy (once again, I'm less enamored with our sprayer than ever), so we had to sand down a bunch of spots that are still in need of some paint touch ups by hand.
But before I break out the touch-up paint, we still need to do some caulking. I didn't realize how rough some of our trim was looking until it was all painted white. So there are a bunch of spots where the moldings and walls meet that need some filling.
I also never noticed how yellow the paint was in there until now. Sherry and I are still debating colors. We're both thinking of something nice and light, but not white – and maybe with a hint of color. Not sure yet. Though you can see below that we're starting to tape off where things like the built-ins might go, just to try to picture everything and make a final call on layout/placement.
Oh, but the verdict on spraying vs. painting by hand? I'm not totally sure yet. Spraying was definitely WAAAAY faster when you just measure the time spent painting. It took me just about 30 minutes to do a single coat, so one primer coat and two paint coats were a total of just 1.5 hours spent spraying – versus a single coat probably taking around 4+ hours by hand. But we've still got some kinks to work out in our prep/clean-up system before I'm convinced it's less trouble overall (for example, when we paint by hand, we don't get nearly as much on the windows so it's a lot easier to scrape, and we don't have drips in the trim that we later have to sand and touch up).
I'd love any tips or suggestions from those of you who are more well-practiced in the art of paint spraying. We plan to spray the dining room when the time comes since, like the office, it has little furniture and can easily be sectioned off. So I'd love to work out some kinks before taking that room for a spin – and then share all the "this worked better" tips when we get 'er done. Can you believe that room is our last room with blue trim?! It'll be a big day when it's done.

One of downtown Fort Worth's most visually striking buildings has sold, with the Sinclair Building now owned by a group of local investors.
"I'm not at liberty to say who they are," said Nicholas Pappas, a Fort Worth attorney who represented Sinclair Holdings LLC, the investors' group, in the transaction.
Selling the property was The Sinclair Building Partners LP, an investment group headed by Ken Jaffe, Allyson Baumeister and Rick Baumeister that purchased the building in September 2006.
The purchase price for the latest transaction was not disclosed, but the 512 Main St. property is valued at $5.8 million, according to the Tarrant Appraisal District.
The deal closed on Friday Dec. 13 with a deed expected to be filed in coming weeks, Pappas said.
The 16-story structure, on the northwest corner of Main and Fifth streets, was built in 1930 and reflects the Art Deco architecture of the time. Designed by Wiley G. Clarkson and built by Harry B. Friedman, it underwent a 1990 restoration that transformed the lobby into a virtual museum, with display cases containing salvaged artifacts, as well as photographs taken before and after the restoration.
Original plans to name the building the Dulaney Building, after its then-owner, changed to reflect Sinclair Oil Co., its main tenant.
