Fort Worth Old Sante Fe Freight Statioin

Santa Fe Freight Station, built 1938.

Constructed in 1938 as one of the improvements to the Fort Worth Union Depot, this depot housed inbound and outbound freight, cold storage, and offices. This building's design is utilitarian; however, it does feature decorative brick work, a stepped cast stone parapet, and a large neon Santa Fe sign on the north end of the building. The structural system used for the building is reinforced concrete. After the building was restored, it opened as the Fort Worth Rail Market, but that venture was not successful. The freight station has since been converted into the University of Texas at Arlington Fort Worth Center.
