The Garland Downtown Historic District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 2017, with an update issued on July 24, 2017, to include the historic Alston House. At present, the best ways to obtain a copy of the Registration Form are either through the National Register or the Texas Historical Commission. In the latter case, follow the "Optional link" below, where the Registration Form will ultimately be located, and report an error to request a copy. In the interim, one can obtain a copy from me here.

The Registration Form doesn't say much about this one, noting it as a newcomer -- built sometime in the 1960s -- but it provides a sound byte:

One-story industrial rectangular brick building with a low pitched gable roof, built for the Kansas City Southern Railway, located adjacent to the Santa Fe Rail Line.
