From Wikipedia:

Sanger Brothers Complex

The Sanger Brothers Complex is a historic building in Downtown Dallas, Texas. The building, located on Lamar Street between Elm and Main, was the flagship location of the Sanger Brothers department store chain.

In 1965, four years after Sanger Brothers was merged with A. Harris & Co. into Sanger–Harris, the store was closed and replaced by a new flagship at Pacific and Akard. The building was purchased by the Dallas County Community College District and converted into the main building of El Centro College.

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as part of the Dallas Landmark Historic District.
