Mercantile Continental Building, Commercial structure in downtown Dallas, Texas.

The Mercantile Continental Building stands eleven stories tall at 1810 Commerce Street, featuring stone and tile construction with modernist architectural elements.

Walter W. Ahlschlager designed this building for Mercantile National Bank, which opened in 1948 at a construction cost of 1.65 million dollars.

The building incorporates a 30-foot-high mosaic sculpture by artist Millard Sheets displaying various cultural motifs on its exterior walls.

Four underground parking levels accommodate 1,250 vehicles, making it the first subterranean parking facility constructed in Dallas.

The structure now contains 180 luxury residential units following a 2013 renovation that transformed the former banking offices into modern apartments.
