Goodrich Building at 4136-40 Commerce St.","why_significant":"The buildings reflect Dallas's growth as a distribution center for automobiles and tires in the early twentieth century. They were built as regional warehouse and sales facilities for two major tire companies, and they remain well preserved examples of Chicago-influenced industrial/commercial design with high integrity.","narrative":"Two linked industrial buildings from 1929 stand near the western edge of Fair Park in Dallas. The three-story Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company Building faces Parry Avenue, and the two-story B.F. Goodrich Building faces Commerce Street. A one-story masonry connector joins them. Both were permitted six months apart by the same developer and appear to have been designed by the same architect. Their reinforced-concrete construction is clad in variegated brick with cast concrete trim, glazed ceramic tile inserts, basket-weave brickwork and steel casement windows. The Goodyear building housed offices and warehouse space, with a small filling station and tire sales office added beside it. The Goodrich building has a wood structural system. They served as warehouse and sales sites for two leading tire makers during the period when Dallas became a chief distributing center for automobiles and automotive products. A 2000 rehabilitation converted them to residential lofts and offices, and both retain a high degree of historic integrity.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century Movements: Chicago School","criteria":[],"status_note":"Rehabilitated in 2000 for residential lofts and office space; current functions are multiple dwelling and office building.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:24.048874-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/85/9716/40971685/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/02000009.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40971685","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000204"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dallas-county/goodyear-tire-and-rubber-company-building-and-b-f-goodrich-building-02000009/"}
