Dallas
Originally constructed in 1912 as the headquarters of the Dallas Coffin Company, the building enjoyed a long history as a regional one-stop shop for all funerary needs, from hearses to sundries. Adjacent to the enormous Sear Catalog Distribution Center, the building was eventually acquired by Sears. Empty for a number of years, it has been re-imagined as a boutique hotel.
Norman Alston Architects served as historic preservation consultant to the design architects and authored the successful nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.
