Sante Fe Warehouse #1

1114 Commerce Street

With construction beginning in 1924, this building was designed by Dallas architect Lloyd R. Whitson as the headquarters for the Gulf, Colorado, and Santa Fe Railroad. This is the anchor of a massive four structure complex that was connected by underground railroad tunnels built to centralize the three railroad's transfer and warehouse operations. While allowing the transfer operations to remain in the heart of the city, the underground tunnels removed the annoying network of surface tracks that plagued downtown traffic.
