112 SW 8th Ave 

 A 12-story skyscraper, late Moderne in style, mid symmetrical in massing mid composition.
It is in a T-plan above a two-story base that covers the full site. The shaft rises for eight undifferentiated floors above the base mid culminates in a small story visible only from the front. The twelfth story is an addition and is set back from the facades of the original design. The walls are banded horizontally in alternate strips of limestone and brick, with square windows set within the brick bands. A slightly advancing pavilion on the main facade is articulated in unbroken vertical piers.

 Built in 1.950 for the First National Bank. It was designed by the Bank Building mid Equipment
Corporation of Oklahoma City. The First National Bank was the first bank in Amarillo, established in
1889 in the original townsite. By 1891 it was located at 319 Polk in a two-story stone structure. In 1935 it merged with the Amarillo Bank and Trust company and moved into the Fisk Building where it
remained until this building was completed in 1950. The First National Bank moved to the corner of
Eighth mid Taylor by 1980 mid this building became known as the Diamond Shamrock Building.

An excellent example of an early post-war skyscraper and the first Amarillo sky scraper built after World War II. In its subtle design, achieved with a minimum of fuss mid through the careful use of good materials, this is one of Amarillo's test skyscrapers.
