It also represents the flats and apartment buildings that developed along East Dallas streetcar lines in the 1920s. The Mission Revival style is described as somewhat rare in this part of Dallas.","narrative":"Located at 4636 Ross Avenue in East Dallas, this two-story brick building was constructed about 1924 as a four-unit apartment house. It has wood-frame construction with brick veneer, a flat roof hidden behind a Mission-style parapet, and a red-tile pent roof. A small front porch with a tile roof shelters an entrance set in a broad segmental arch, and the parapet carries a panel inscribed \"Claremont.\" Ross Avenue was changing from large single-family houses to apartment living in the 1920s, and the building stood on a streetcar line that connected residents to downtown jobs and to nearby shops, theaters and restaurants. Early tenants included business managers and proprietors. The building was listed for its architecture at the local level. It retains its original design and details to a remarkable degree, and Mission Revival ornament is uncommon among multi-family buildings in this part of Dallas. It is now used as offices.","period_of_significance":"1924","architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Mission Revival","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Described as in good condition with few alterations; it functions as offices for the Texas Youth Council.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:23.536546-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/70/9686/40968670/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/95000313.pdf"},"photo":null,"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40968670","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000920"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dallas-county/claremont-apartments-95000313/"}
