Founders Square
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. |
