INTRODUCTION: This report has been prepared by the Historic Landmark Preservation Comittee of the Planning Con~nission and by the Department of Urban Planning. It is a study of the Magnolia Building, renamed the Mobil Building, to determine its significance as a historic landmark and to consider the question of whether it should be protected. The study will also consider what features should be Drotected and what approaches are ap propriate if the building is determined to be worthy of such protection. Designation under the City’s landmark program, together with preservation criteria, would be a major tool for preserving any building deemed to be historically significant as a living part of Dallas’ heritage. If such a building is unoccupied or underutilized, an appropriate reuse would be es sential for its continued viability. Hopefully, a new use could be found for a historic landmark building which would not only preserve the building as economically viable, but which would provide some access and amenity to the public appropriate to its significance as a focus of community sentiment. The Magnolia Building has for years been one of Dallas’ most significant buildings. Its architectural distinction, its association with the city’s economic life, and its extraordinary visual domination of the downtown sky line, topped by the Flying Red Horse, all reinforce its overall impact. -

The site contains a single-family, two- story brick, Tudor Revival style 2,998 square foot home situated on a 13,275 lot built in 1928. TYPE OF APPROVAL REQUESTED: Landmark Designation HISTORY AND SIGNIFICANCE SUMMARY The William Henry Curtin House was designed and built for Mr. William Henry Curtin and Mrs. Lula Lovelady Curtin in 1928. The Tudor Revival style brick house was designed by prolific Houston architect Samuel H. Dixon, Jr. Early in his career, Dixon worked with esteemed Houston architect Birdsall Briscoe in the firm Briscoe & Dixon. During the late 1930s, Dixon partnered with Athna Bryan Ellis in the architectural firm Dixon & Ellis. Both firms produced designs for a long list of notable homes in Shadyside, Broadacres, River Oaks, Southgate and other neighborhoods. William H. Curtin, a lifelong Houstonian, owned and operated W.H. Curtin & Co., a successful international scientific apparatus supply company located at 2019 Franklin Street in Houston. In later years, the company was known as Curtin Scientific Apparatus and had offices in over a dozen major U.S. cities and in Mexico. The company sold a wide array of scientific equipment and produced a thick catalogue of its offerings. Hardbound volumes of the early trade catalogues are part of the collection at the National Museum of American History in Washington D.C. -

Unusual Occurrences in the Desert: Symbolic Landscapes in the Cultural Exchange Between the United States and Mexico, 1920-1939

Racine _____________________________ All Rights Reserved ii ABSTRACT What does Mexico mean to the cultural imagination of the United States? What has it meant in the past? In what ways has the U.S. incorporated aspects of Mexican culture into its own? This dissertation explores these questions of cultural and intellectual exchange between the U.S. and Mexico during the 1920s and 1930s by positioning itself amid the present “transnational” and “hemispheric” turn in U.S. literary study. Its subject matter ranges from architecture and urbanism to journalism and travel writing to short stories and novels to muralism and the visual arts. Such an interdisciplinary approach is bolstered by crossing scales of geography from the international to the continental, the national, the regional and the local. Positioning the discussion -
