The World's Littlest Skyscraper

Wichita Falls' "world's littlest skyscraper" can be viewed as both a parable of and metaphor for the citty. The development company of JD McMahon solicited investors and collected several hundred thousand dollars worth of capital based on a blueprint that was scaled in inches, rather than feet. The Newby-McMahon Building was completed in 1919, and is about 40-feet tall. Think “Spinal Tap’s” Stonehenge, but real.

Rental Help

Rentals are most frequently located in developments and large complexes, rather than in single-family homes or smaller buildings. Because of this, most rentals are found without the help of real estate agents, through apartment management firms and online apartment classifieds (Hey, you’re on one!). Most apartment buildings offer move-in specials including reduced and waived application fees and deposits, and sometimes even a free month of rent. If you strike at the right time, you could find yourself saving quite a bit of dough.
