The school campus was added to the National Register of Historic Places as the Dallas High School Historic District in 1996. The historic district comprises five contributing properties:[4]

  • Auditorium and Classroom Building, 1907

After being vacant for over 20 years, the building was renovated to become a mixed-use development with the first tenant arriving in 2017.[5]
