Mary Apartments, Dallas, Texas
historic place
The Mary Apartments, located in Dallas, Texas, were constructed around 1924. This H-shaped building features twelve units that face a central courtyard, a distinctive design for its era. The architecture reflects an English-influenced, picturesque style, contributing to a domestic atmosphere. The Mary Apartments represent a shift in East Dallas development, as modern apartment buildings began to replace larger Victorian-era mansions in the 1920s. Its unique site plan, where units address each other rather than the street, makes it a notable example of early apartment architecture. The Mary Apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 23, 1995. This designation recognizes its contribution to East Dallas's architectural heritage.
