3 towers to rise where historic hotel once stood in central Dallas neighborhood
Architecture firm Corgan is working with the City of Dallas and preservation groups to retain some of the old hotel's historic significance. Dallas-based Corgan was contacted by OHT Partners just over two years ago to draft plans for the apartment building, said Stephen Lohr, who leads the architecture firm’s multifamily studio.
The first hotel on the site opened in 1904 and was was entirely made of red bricks. In 1932, the building reopened as the Ambassador after extensive renovations covered it white stucco in the Spanish Revival style.
It changed styles several times throughout the years, but Corgan is determined to maintain the hotel’s historic design language and fuse it with the contemporary and elegant style of today.
