About the Ice House Cultural Center
The Ice House Cultural Center was built in 1908, and served as a major ice supplier in Oak Cliff during the 1920s under management of the Southland Corporation, which later became the 7-Eleven store chain. In 1997, the Ice House was converted into a cultural center that forms part of the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs, and is sponsored in part by the Texas Commission on the Arts. The center provides a Latino-focused venue to promote arts and cultural events that reflect the diversity of Oak Cliff and the surrounding neighborhoods. In September 2009, the Ice House Cultural Center will close its doors and will reemerge in 2010 as the Oak Cliff Cultural Center, located at 223 E. Jefferson Blvd., next door to the Texas Theater.

The Ice House Cultural Center is located in Oak Cliff at 1004 W. Page Street, Dallas, Texas 75208, near the intersection of Polk Avenue and 12th Street.
