-A A +A
1920s–1960s. 400–800 blocks of Denrock Ave.

Denrock Avenue forms the center of Dalham’s commercial district. La Rita Performing Arts Theater (1921; 1988 remodeled) at 311 Denrock has a lovely facade in tapestry brick and vaguely Spanish glazed terra-cotta ornament. The Dalhart Texan building (c. 1920; 410 Denrock) and the XIT Museum (former King Motor Company; 1929) nearby at 108 E. 5th Street have similar brick and terra-cotta detailing. The Dalhart Federal Savings Building (1965; 502 Denrock) is a glass pavilion roofed with thin shell concrete vaults.
