1530 Main Street, formerly the Dallas National Bank Building, and known later as the SPG Building, is an historic high-rise located on Main Street between Akard Street and Ervay Street. Positioned at the end of Stone Street Plaza, it is centralized in the Main Street District of downtown Dallas, Texas, and is the only Gothic high-rise in the city. The Dallas National Bank completed construction of the office building in 1927.
The building is currently being converted into a five-star, 129-room boutique hotel by Headington Hotels and will be known as the Joule Hotel (until early 2008 the hotel was reported to be named the Hotel Elan). It has garnered notoriety for its 10th floor pool that cantilevers eight feet over the easement below. The hotel interior was developed by world renowned designer, Adam Tihany, and the lobby level is home to the highly acclaimed Charlie Palmer restaurant.
