The Sanger-Harris Building is a building in Downtown Dallas that was opened in 1965 as the flagship location of the Sanger-Harris department store in Downtown Dallas. In 1987, Sanger-Harris was renamed Foley's and the building continued to operate as the Foley's Dallas flagship store. It was closed in 1990 while Foley's was opening newer locations in the area. It is currently the headquarters for Dallas Area Rapid Transit.
Architecture

Sanger-Harris
Sanger-Harris department store was founded in 1961 as a merge of two Dallas department stores, Sangers and A.Harris. In 1987, the Sanger-Harris name was combined with its owner's Houston-based department store Foley's and all of the Dallas locations were renamed Foley's. In 2006, Foley's along with its owner was bought by Macy's and the Dallas locations were renamed Macy's.
