Part of the "Texas Centennial Exposition Buildings (1936--1937)" Historic District (on the National Register), this building was constructed in 1936 as a showcase for Agricultural Exhibits.

George Dahl consolidated the livestock and agricultural facilities of the exposition on the north side of the Cotton Bowl. The main axial approach into this "Agrarian" district uses the matching porticos of the Food & Fiber Building and the Embarcadero Building as objects in the foreground to frame the view of, and focus attention on, a distant pylon.

Workers completed restoration of the Food & Fiber Building in 1999. Source: Fair Park website.
