Photograph of the Will Rogers Memorial Center located at 3401 Lancaster Avenue in Fort Worth. The building is tall, and is connected to a large tower. The section of the center that is most prominent in the photograph stands to the left. It is made out of large stone blocks. Doorways are inset into the building, creating a two-dimensional façade. The sections of the building that stand out are carved to resemble Greek columns, with grooves going down the lengths of each column five times. A set of double doors is set into each depressed section of the building, the ones closest to the camera are under a doorway that says "WILL ROGERS." Glass blocks extend above each doorway, reaching to the same height as the grooved stone. Each glass section is five blocks across. At the top of this building, a tiled mural depicting various farm and pilgrim images. Spotlights sit on top of the building, aiming down to its surroundings. A shorter section of the center connects the building to the tower. A small section of landscaping rests in front of it. This area consists of a tall tree, three saplings, and various short plants.
