Located at 1954 Commerce Street in downtown Dallas, the Old Dallas Central Library is a mid-century modern civic structure completed in 1955 and designed by architect George Dahl. Positioned on the edge of the Farmers Market District and adjacent to Main Street Garden Park, this multi-level building stands as a contributing property to both the Dallas Downtown Historic District and the Harwood Street Historic District. Together with the adjacent Dallas Statler Hilton, it represents the finest mid-twentieth-century architecture in Dallas and formerly served as the Dallas Public Library's central branch.
