Santa Fe Terminal Complex, Historic railway terminal complex in downtown Dallas, Texas.

The Santa Fe Terminal Complex spans 18 acres in downtown Dallas and features multiple historic buildings constructed in the Chicago School architectural style with large windows and minimal ornamentation.

Constructed in 1924 as headquarters for the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway, the complex served as the southwest's largest merchandising center and played a crucial role in regional transportation development.

The complex symbolizes Dallas's transformation into a major commercial hub during the early 20th century and represents the significant role of railway infrastructure in shaping southwestern urban development.

Located at 1114 Commerce Street in the Government District, the complex is accessible to visitors interested in architectural history, with buildings now serving various commercial and residential purposes including the Aloft Hotel.

The complex features underground railway tunnels and freight elevators that allowed up to 40 rail cars daily to move goods directly into upper building levels without surface disruption.
