Old Texas and Pacific Railway Station

-A A +A
c. 1905, Otto H. Lang. N. Main St. at W. Water St.

This one-story buff brick structure has deeply bracketed overhangs on its hipped roofs, round-arched windows, and a square tower in red brick that rises mid-length on the trackside of the depot with a pyramidal roof and corner turrets. Otto Lang, employed early in his Texan career by the Texas and Pacific, formed a practice in 1905 in Dallas with Frank O. Witchell that quickly became one of the most prominent in the state.

The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway’s Passenger and Freight Station (1910; now the Chamber of Commerce) at 401 Fort Worth Highway employs its signature Mission Revival style in red brick. The three waiting rooms, separated by the ticket and station-master’s office, were segregated by sex and race.
