About Corrigan Tower
Corrigan Tower, also known as 1900 Pacific, is a high rise located at 1900 Pacific Avenue in the City Center District of Dallas, Texas. The building contains 20 floors of office space and is of modernist design. It is situated on the high-traffic corner of St. Paul Street, Live Oak Street and Pacific Avenue, across from Aston Park and the future Pacific Plaza Park. It lies within the Harwood Historic District, but it not a contributing structure. The site was previously the location of small commercial structures and the 1,500 seat Tower Theater, which was located at the rear of and accessed through the Tower Petroleum Building. After developer Leo Corrigan purchased the Tower Petroleum Building in 1942, Corrigan Tower was designed by architect Wyatt C. Hedrick as a 215,000 square foot addition to the adjoining building. The new building was connected on floors 4-14, creating a two-building complex with 325,000 square feet of general office space. Construction began in 1951 and the building opened in 1952. To preserve the Tower Theater, it was necessary for Corrigan Tower to build around the structure along Pacific Avenue.
