a.k.a. Santa Fe IV
1033 Young St., Dallas, TXThe Santa Fe Terminal Building #4 is nominated to the National Register of Historic Places at the local level of significance in the areas of Commerce, Industry, Transportation, and Architecture, with a period of significance that begins in 1923, the year of the building's construction, and ends in 1961, the current end date for the National Register's 50-year criterion. For its association with one of the major railroad facilities of its kind in North Texas from 1923 through 1942, the Santa Fe Terminal Building #4 is nominated in the area of Transportation. In the areas of Commerce and Industry, the building is locally significant as the birthplace of the Haggar Clothing Company, a nationally-known purveyor of menswear that counted President Lyndon B. Johnson as one of its clients, and as the home of other noteworthy commercial tenants that helped Dallas to grow as an important center of business and manufacturing from 1923 to 1966 when its last commercial tenant left. The recently-rehabilitated building also retains a good deal of historic fabric, including a gravity-based freight conveyor, train platforms in the basement, exposed concrete columns and floors, and steel windows, and it remains an excellent example of this building type; it is therefore nominated in the area of Architecture.
