Preservation Dallas In-Town Outing at East Dock!
EAST DOCK is a unique adaptive use project being developed in East Oak Cliff by Proxy Properties, LLC. The property is located at 900 E. Clarendon, within the original farming community of Hord’s Ridge, settled in the early 1800’s along Cedar Creek. The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe railroad was chartered in 1873, adjacent to the east side of the property, and the location has been used as an industrial site since the 1890’s. A 42’ tall, 3,330 SF concrete ice vault was built in the early 1900’s, and Oak Cliff Ice & Cold Storage Co. occupied the site and operated an ice factory with artesian water. Refrigeration eliminated the need for ice storage. Guiberson Corporation purchased the property and added metal warehouse buildings for their aircraft engine and parts factory, leaving the current remaining 62,000 SF footprint as outlined on the 1951 Sanborn map. DART developed the light rail system along the railway route in the mid-1990’s, and the Red Line now passes behind the site.
