Dallas architect Jerry Merriman, who passed away at 74, helped preserve more than a dozen Dallas landmark buildings.
The architectural firm Merriman founded has overseen the restoration of some of the city’s best-known landmarks, including the Statler Hotel, Lone Star Gas Building, Old Dallas High School, Tower Petroleum Building and the First National Bank Tower .after almost 50 years in the architecture business.
The company began by designing motels and restaurants before growing into bigger projects downtown. His firm gained a reputation for repurposing historic properties. “And Jerry’s contributions are felt far beyond his projects into civic leadership and mentorship, as he passionately supported so many of us growing our careers to follow his, careers that leave a place far better than we found it, for the good of the community and the city we love."
“Relationships and enjoying the people you work with was very special to Jerry,” said Milton Anderson, president of Merriman Anderson Architects. “Jerry loved both the business of, and the design and construction side of architecture and was a master at weaving them together.”
