The first stop we made during our site visits in my REAE 5316 Adaptive Reuse course was to the old U.S. Post office in Downtown Dallas. The U.S. Post Office and Court House on 400 N. Ervay has a long history. This building was opened in November 1930 as the largest Federal building in the South, replacing the old Federal Building a few blocks away.
The beautiful architecture included intricate lighting in the main lobby with a southwestern design, brass post office boxes, decorative panels and terra cotta flooring.
This building is now being reused as luxury living space ...the remodel and revitalization of this old building will ensure its use for many more years to come.
