Wilson Building, Historic commercial building in downtown Dallas, United States
The Wilson Building is an eight-story structure in downtown Dallas featuring rounded corners, intricate stonework, and detailed brick patterns on its street-facing facade. The building combines residential and commercial spaces with an unusual E-shaped floor plan designed to accommodate nine elevators.
Completed in 1904, this structure held the title of Dallas's tallest building until 1909. Its construction marked a turning point in the city's architectural development and commercial growth.
The building reflects early 20th-century American fascination with European design, drawing inspiration from Parisian models of the time. This influence appears in the careful details of the stonework and architectural features that visitors can see throughout the structure.
The building now functions as residential lofts with modern amenities while preserving its original architectural character. Its downtown location makes it easily accessible and provides good views of the historic details from street level.
The building features an unusual E-shaped floor plan, rare in early 20th-century commercial architecture in Texas. This configuration allowed for nine elevators, a notable technical solution for its time.
