The most amazing, astounding building in Waco. I’ve heard the ALICO called a “toothpick in a pancake” and that is such a perfect encapsulation of its beauty. While Waco may seem boring and flat, the ALICO really shines light on how beautiful this city is. I’ve taken countless pictures here and will include a few to this review. When you “cross the Brazos to Waco,” the ALICO Building is the first thing you see! And that’s how you know you’re close to home. Such an historic building, full of history and character! You haven’t truly been to Waco until you take a selfie in front of the ALICO!

After watching "Fixer Upper" ever since it began airing in Australia it was a dream to finally see this building in the flesh! It was very close to the Hilton Waco, where we stayed and it was also very close to the wonderful Waco Farmer's Market.

Considering this building survived the horrible 1953 Waco tornado, it is a testimony to this buildings spot in history. All the two and three story buildings around it were destroyed and the ALICO building is still standing tall.

AKA Amicable Life Building

The ALICO Building is a 22-story office building in downtown Waco, Texas, United States, located on Austin and 5th Streets. It was built in 1910 by the architectural firm Sanguinet & Staats and associate architect Roy Lane, for the Amicable Life Insurance Company at a cost of $755,000. It was completed in only one year.

The building is today owned by the American-Amicable Life Insurance Company of Texas (a subsidiary of Industrial Alliance), and remains the tallest building in Waco by far. The acronym "ALICO" is spelled in red neon letters on the top floor, and can be seen for many miles.

The ALICO Building was one of the few downtown office buildings that survived the 1953 Waco tornado outbreak. It swayed several feet when the tornado hit it directly, but its steel frame structure allowed it to...

The Alico building is no longer available for touring. There is no longer an observation deck or tours in the building. It is a lawyer and insurance business. The Alico is a wonderful building though. With it's glorious marble, gold and mirror interior mixed with original iron door knobs and mail slots, push pop light switches and modernized necessities, this over a century old building is still a spectacular site to see to this day. Fun fact: it has a old fashioned original mail shoot top to bottom that you can drop mail in on any floor. Also the center spiral marble staircase goes all the...
