The building was originally designed with white columns and a mosaic. The outside has the Sanger–Harris name engraved in various entrances. The white columns are still a feature of the building's architecture. The mosaic however is no longer visible. Many of the Sanger–Harris branch stores around DFW replicated this same design.
Sanger–Harris department store was founded in 1961 as a merger of two Dallas department stores, Sanger Brothers and A. Harris & Co.
In January 1987, the Sanger–Harris stores were combined with Federated’s Houston-based department store Foley's and all of the Dallas locations were renamed Foley's. The next year, the chain was sold to The May Department Stores Company.
In 2006, Foley's along with its owner at the time (May Company) was bought by Macy's and the Dallas locations were renamed Macy's.
