The building was originally home to the Fidelity Union Life Insurance Company. The first tower was built in 1952 and is 21 stories tall while the second, 21-story addition was constructed between 1959 and 1960.[2]
Fidelity Union vacated the complex in 1985 and Texas Power & Light (TXU), the other major tenant, moved out in 1992. The complex remained vacant until Hamilton Properties Corporation bought it in 2004, rechristening it as The Mosaic, in honor of the thousands of green tiles that line the buildings' facade. The renovation included construction of 440 apartments with interiors designed by three note architects: Ike Isenhour, Stanley Ray, and MAA. The residences were opened to occupancy on 6 December 2007 and the ground floor features a restaurant and fitness center.[3]
During the first few episodes of Dallas, the Fidelity Union Life building could be seen in the distance through a window while scenes played out regarding dealings and operations at oil/gas firm Ewing Oil.
