|  | | | This place should ring home with all yall texas peeps. I ran across this place while checking out the Baker Hotel then when I started to do some research I ran across Imroglio's pics of the place. This all led to another trip back out there to check this place out, plus my partner's cousin use to play paintball in there and told us it was real cool in there. It took us for ever to get in we tried everything but no avail, then we tried the front door which conveniently had a rope as a door know and we just walked right in. When we got to one of the upper floors there was this pigeon up there that was completely cool with humans. As soon as we walked in he flew up to us and started letting us touch him. It was crazy, in N.O. the pigeons aren't that friendly. The roof was also pretty cool. Although this place was pretty much gutted, it was huge, it took us forever to maneuver through that whole place. I got to say Texas is got some pretty cool places. If anybody has any info on this place for me that would be greatly appreciated because I do not know much about this place. Hope ya enjoy! Peace

This is a cool location indeed. One of my favorites. The roof is great!

| | | | Although separated from Texas & Pacific Railway Terminal by a block, Architects Wyatt C. Hedrick and Herman P. Koeppe scaled back the ornamentation from the passenger terminal and then utilized the simplified design for this 8 story warehouse building. However, even with less ornamentation, this building is still a great example of the Zigzag Moderne Style. It features inlaid panels of blue tile, ornamental brickwork, and polychrome brick. The polychrome brick has many patterns typical of the Art Deco period. The exterior of the building is marked by octagonal corner towers and intermediate roof towers, similar to the passenger terminal. Detailing within the brickwork is also the same between the warehouse and the terminal. The warehouse offered space for the storage, distribution, and refrigeration of produce and merchandise. Office and salesrooms were also available within the structure; thus, tenants could consolidate their warehouse and showrooms under one roof. The General Contractor for the building was P.O'B. Montgomery of Dallas. This warehouse, 611 feet long by 100 feet wide, is currently vacant.
