 office building, interesting place, apartment building

The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company was erected in 1929 on the north side of Parry Avenue, across the street from the Texas State Fair Grounds. The front façade was constructed of rusticated masonry and embellished with decorative brickwork in contrasting colors, caste concrete coping and other decorative details, as well as glazed tile inserts. The building is located on a site that during the second quarter of the twentieth century also included a fire station, Number 5 Hook and Ladder Company (1907), as well as a filling station. The filling station was removed at an indeterminate date and the fire station, now a Dallas Landmark, is occupied by the Dallas Firefighters’ Museum.
