Wyatt C. Hedrick moved to Texas from Virginia and never looked back. After assisting with construction at Love Field, he established Hedrick Construction Company and then became a partner in the prestigious Sanguinet and Statts. As the post war boom evolved into oil and money construction, Hedrick set out on his own. Included in his many projects are the original twelve buildings at Texas Tech University, Will Rogers Coliseum, T&P railroad stations throughout Texas, and the Shamrock Hotel. His place in the evolving landscape of Texas history is written in stone.
