Hi folks, In 1991 I lived in Dallas Tx for a year and I and my friends would go down to Deep Ellum on Friday nights. On many a trip, I noticed a distinctive brick freight train station there that had been gutted and was being used for parking. In the early 2000's I read that it had been given protective status and then the owner tore it down one day so he could build something else. The last I heard was that the city was demanding that he rebuild it. And I can't find anything on the world-wide-inter-webs about it now. Does anyone know where I can find some information about it and it's former location? I don't think it was rebuilt. Thanks, Charles |

Dunno if this is the right one, but this article mentions a KATY freight depot that was illegally torn down in 2006. The location is in the West End at Ross & Houston. The demolition is said to have caused an outrage but I can't find much evidence of that outrage, at least on the internet. https://www.keranews.org/post/oswald-ap ... end-builds I've found references to a 1936 Southern Pacific freight depot on Canton Street that received a historical marker and was torn down in the last twenty years. I can't find the exact location but it appears to be in the area of Deep Ellum. |

Thank you Charlie, that's the one. TCI was found guilty of fraud and had to pay the city $750 K but they didn't have to rebuild it like the city of Dallas had originally wanted. Once I knew the date and location, I was able to find information online. Funny how that is. https://www.dallasnews.com/news/news/20 ... se-of-7321 And this article has a picture of the building as I remember it. https://www.keranews.org/post/oswald-ap ... end-builds |
