900 Jackson - 1914; 1917; 1923 (NR, RTHL, D)

This Renaissance Revival Chicago School Warehouse was designed by the Dallas Architectural Firm of Lang & Witchell.  It housed the dry goods manufacturing and distributing of Higginbotham-Bailey-Logan Co.  After 1945, the company was known as Higginbotham-Bailey.  The western 1/3 of the building is the original structure featuring taller towers at each corner facing an intersection.  By 1917, the building was expanded approximately 50 feet to the east.  This addition had a smaller tower constructed on its northwest corner and matched the original building in style and detail.  In 1923, the building was expanded to include the entire block.  This final addition resembled the earlier parts of the facility, including more corner towers.    Lang & Witchell designed the additions, as well.  In 1984, the structure was converted to office use.
