Corrigan Tower, Modern architecture building in City Center District, Dallas, United States.
Corrigan Tower is a modern office building in Dallas's City Center District, rising 17 floors along Pacific Avenue with its main entrance accessed from St. Paul Street. The light brick facade features continuous ribbon windows that emphasize the structure's vertical rhythm.
The tower was completed in 1952 based on architect Wyatt C. Hedrick's design for developer Leo F. Corrigan, serving as an addition to the adjacent Tower Petroleum Building. The structure later underwent a conversion from office use to residential apartments.
The building's name comes from developer Leo Corrigan, who bought the adjoining Tower Petroleum Building in 1942. Its lower levels were heavily altered in a 1979 renovation, when black granite was added to the base to match the neighboring tower. The upper floors kept their original light-brick and ribbon-window design.
The building is easily accessible from multiple entry points and features quick elevators for convenient circulation inside. The surrounding area offers good pedestrian pathways and is close to other downtown locations.
The Tower Theater, a 1,500-seat venue reached through the Tower Petroleum Building, was demolished in the 1979 renovation. Its place was taken by a three-story entrance and lobby on Pacific Avenue, joined to the original lobby, and black granite was added to the base to match the neighboring building.
