The buildings within this district range from modest, late-nineteenth and early twentieth century examples of brick and limestone commercial buildings to the finest examples of multi-story bank, hotel, and office buildings from the 1910s through the 1950s that illustrate the complete evolution of the skyscraper form in both Dallas and the State of Texas. In addition, the district contains notable examples of governmental buildings and an outstanding example of theatre architecture. The district features one of the state's best concentrations of late nineteenth and early twentieth century commercial and public buildings, representing the transformation of Dallas from a small agricultural trading center to a world-class financial center for banking, the oil industry, the insurance industry, and major retail outlets. Moreover, the physical development of the district reflects the major developments in the history of city planning in the state, many of which were initiated in the City of Dallas and served as a model for others. The district is composed of a total of 102 buildings, sites and structures of which 54 resources (54 buildings) are contributing, 36 are noncontributing (including 27 buildings, 5 sites, and 4 structures), and twelve buildings are individually listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Dallas Downtown Historic District contains sufficient integrity for listing under Criterion A in the areas of commerce and community planning and development, at the local level of significance and Criterion C, in the area of architecture, at the local level of significance.

  • The Texas School Book Depository Building
    THE TEXAS SCHOOL BOOK DEPOSITORY BUILDING: PRESERVING THE DARK SIDE OF HISTORY by Richard West Sellars P JL rom a sixth floor corner window of the Texas School Book Depository Building in Dallas, the traf­ fic below seems surprisingly close—a slow-moving car makes an easy target. Lee Harvey Oswald had the same view as he crouched at this sixth floor window to watch the presidential motorcade approach on Hous­ ton Street and turn down Elm Street, passing through Dealey Plaza. Then he shot and killed President Kennedy. With the assassination on Novembet 22, 1963, ordinary urban features here on the west edge of downtown Dallas suddenly became infamous landmarks, known worldwide — the grassy knoll, the triple underpass, the School Book Depository. Centered around Dealey Plaza, this area forms a kind of amphitheater —open to the west, ringed on other President and Mrs. Kennedy arriving at the Dallas Airport.

What kind of culture if any has been created by Architourism and is it authen c or inauthen c. What kinds of developments have occurred there recently and what has this done to boost or change the local community. In the 2010 census the city of Dallas saw less than a one percent increase in its total popula on while Ft Worth increased by more than 38%. Did Architourism play a role in this? If so, what? Our analysis will begin with researching the demographics of the local users and types of tourists, their income level, race, educa on and loca on of residency.

    4 4 A I I -.. Y a To protect and preserve the state'5s historic and prehistoric resources for the use, education, enjoyment, and economic benefit of present and future generations. Front cover: A statue at the THC's new San Felipe de Austin Museum. LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, Texans are fortunate to have a dynamic cultural history-the envy of anyone who doesn't call the Lone Star State home. At the Texas Historical Commission (THC), we're excited about preserving the places that embody this heritage. It's our job, but it's also our passion as proud Texans. For the last two years the THC has translated this passion into successful projects and initiatives that preserve our unique history while generating measurable economic impact on communities across Texas,. This report showcases the agency's activities during the past biennium and demonstrates that we truly embrace our responsibility of preserving the real places that tell the real stories of Texas. Our most exciting accomplishment was opening the state-of-the art San Felipe de Austin Museum near Sealy. Planned for decades, Texas' newest history museum tells the story of the founding of the Republic of Texas with highly interactive and dynamic exhibits. We also celebrated the rededication of the Karnes County Courthouse in Karnes City, where hundreds of local residents gathered to commemorate the impressively restored 1894 building. We were humbled to see so many people appreciating the hard work of local and state restoration efforts through our Texas Historic Courthouse Preservation Program. Our agency experienced challenges, as did much of the state.
