Dallas is a top-tier city for conventions and business
travel, drawing over 3.8 million people to more than
3,600 conventions, trade shows and meetings each year.
71 Pioneer Plaza &
CemeteryThe 4.2-acre park opened in
1994 as the world’s largest
bronze monument, with
larger-than-life steers and
cowboys depicting a mid-19th
century cattle drive. The
adjacent cemetery dates back
to 1852, marking the final
resting places of Dallas County’s
most prominent settlers.
95 Dallas Convention Center
With over one million square feet of exhibit space, the
high-tech center hosts major national and international
conventions, concerts and other special events. Public art
is a prominent feature, from the ever-changing luminescent
patterns of “Lightstream” to brilliantly colored terrazzo
floor images of water, salamanders, cowboys and other
Southwest symbols.

Pioneer Plaza

The area takes its name from La Reunion, the utopian
farm community of French and Belgian colonists that
settled in west Dallas during the 1850s. After the colony
failed, these skilled artisans moved to Dallas, adding a
flair for culture to the pioneer town.
65 Ferris Plaza
Named for civic leader and
banker Royal A. Ferris, the
tree-filled park opened circa
1920 as Dallas’ contribution
to the City Beautiful
Movement. Slightly recessed
from street level, its central
focus is the city’s first public fountain.
108 Reunion Tower
Providing a fantastic 360-degree view of Dallas, the 50-
story tower is topped by a three-level geodesic dome
complete with revolving observation deck and restaurant.
The dome has 260 computer-controlled lights that can
create infinite patterns.
135 Union Station
Handling as many as 85 trains per day after it opened
in 1916, the Beaux-Arts passenger terminal now serves
Amtrak and DART’s light and commuter rail systems.
The building is connected via tunnel to Reunion Tower.

DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT

Founded and named by John Neely Bryan in the
late 1830s, Dallas was shaped by efforts to establish
transportation and communications links. An important
stopping place for travelers on the road linking St. Louis
to San Antonio, the area also boasted a natural crossing
point along the Trinity River and large tracts of cheap
land. Dallas was named the county seat in 1850 and,
six years later, Dallas incorporated as a town with a
population of 350.
Today, Dallas is home to over 1.1 million people, an
exciting mix of Southern hospitality, modern style,
first-class shopping and restaurants, and dynamic
entertainment, recreational and cultural attractions.

The 61-acre district is the nation’s largest downtown area
dedicated to the arts. A growing list of institutions ranges
from a spectacular symphony center to an award-winning
arts magnet high school.
21 Fountain Place
One of America’s great urban spaces lies at the base of
the prism-shaped skyscraper designed by I.M. Pei. The
extraordinary six-acre plaza is filled with native bald
cypress trees, waterfalls, bubbler fountains and a central
fountain with 360 computer-driven water jets.
93 Crow Collection of Asian Art
Showcasing one of the nation’s most important collections
of Asian art, the museum offers free self-guided or docent-
led tours and programs such as lectures, family days and
concerts throughout the year.
94 Dallas Center for the Performing Arts (future)
Construction of the $275 million complex of indoor
and outdoor performing spaces began in November 2005.
The venues include an opera house theater, performance
hall and grand plaza.
97 Dallas Museum of Art
Founded in 1903, DMA moved its permanent collection
of ancient and contemporary art to the current facility
in 1984. It hosts an ongoing schedule of lectures, films,
concerts, classes and special exhibitions.
103 Morton H.
Meyerson
Symphony Center
Designed by I.M.
Pei, the acoustically
renowned center
is the home of the
Dallas Symphony
Orchestra and
the 4,535 pipe
Herman W. Lay Family Organ. Concerts, meetings, tours
and special events are held year-round.
104 Nasher Sculpture Center
Consisting of five light-filled galleries and a two acre oasis
of trees and fountains, the acclaimed center opened in
2003 to house one of the world’s foremost collections of
modern sculpture.

Beautiful parks, gleaming office towers and even an
indoor ice skating rink are key features in this district.
Many destinations may be reached through the three-
mile-long underground and elevated walkway system
that serves the weekday population.
31 Americas Ice Garden
Located in the Plaza of the Americas office/hotel complex,
the ice skating rink offers daily public sessions along with
camps, lessons and private events.
62 Cancer Survivors Plaza
A life-size sculpture by Victor Salmones depicting
eight individuals—cancer patients, survivors and their
supporters—passing through a maze underscores the
park theme, “Don’t equate death and cancer.”
102 Majestic Theater
This former vaudeville palace was built circa 1922 and
later wired for talking pictures. Listed on the National
Register, the ornate theater was restored between 1979
and 1983 as a performing arts venue.
110 Thanks-Giving Square
A bell tower,
meditation garden,
soothing fountains
and a Philip
Johnson-designed
chapel distinguish
this urban park
dedicated to world-
wide thanksgiving.
Interfaith services are
held regularly in the
spiral-shaped chapel.

Glass-clad office towers adjoin historic structures in
Downtown’s traditional heart, a district of chic hotels,
loft apartments, restaurants and an expanding retail base.
In the early 1900s, St. Louis beer magnate Adolphus
Busch constructed two opulent landmarks, the Adolphus
Hotel and the Kirby Building.
72 Pegasus Plaza
Completed in 1994, the park is named for the mythical
winged horse to symbolize the ongoing rebirth of Dallas.
Adjacent to the park is the Magnolia Hotel, which has
been topped by a massive neon sign patterned after
the Flying Red Horse since 1934.
75 Stone Street Gardens
Opened in 1965 as the city’s first landscaped pedestrian
mall and completely renovated in 2002, the walkway
is a popular destination for outdoor dining and
people-watching.
105 Neiman Marcus
Founded in Dallas in
1907 as an exclusive
clothing store for women,
the flagship store of the
modern retail chain was
built in 1914, enlarged in
1928 and expanded in
1964 after a fire.
126 Municipal Courts
BuildingThis magnificent Beaux-Arts edifice served as Dallas City
Hall from 1914 to 1977 and as Dallas Police headquarters
until 2003. Also the site of Lee Harvey Oswald’s
assassination in 1963, the building currently houses the
municipal court system.

Downtown is the seat of city and county government and
the regional hub of many federal agencies and courts.
70 Dallas Police Memorial
Dedicated in 2001, the focal point is a rectangular
stainless steel canopy bearing the badge numbers of Dallas
police officers killed in the line of duty. Below the canopy
are the names of the fallen officers.
127 Dallas City Hall
One of five Downtown buildings designed by prominent
architect I.M. Pei, the building is an inverted cantilever
with each floor about nine feet wider than the one below.
131 Earle Cabell Federal Building & Courthouse
Housing various federal agencies including the U. S.
District Court for the Northern District of Texas, the
building was completed in 1967 and named for a former
Dallas mayor and U.S. congressman. The adjacent
structure was part of the Santa Fe Railroad office-
warehouse complex built in the 1920s and connected by
an underground railroad system.
132 J. Erik Jonsson Central Library
Built in 1982 and named for a former mayor and city
leader, the library provides extensive community programs
and contains a collection of over 3 million items,
including one of only ten original copies of the 1776
Declaration of Independence.
133 George L. Allen Sr. Courts Building
Dallas County named its civil courts building for the
first African-American elected to Dallas City Council, a
businessman who led efforts to desegregate local schools
and public facilities. A U.S. passport office and law
library are also located in the courts building.

Brick-lined streets and warehouses influenced by the
Chicago school of architecture—flat roofs, overhanging
cornices, stylized classical detailing—recall early 20th
century Dallas. Renovation of the historic warehouses
began in the 1980s, forming a lively mixed-use district of
entertainment, residences, restaurants and shops.
98 Dallas World Aquarium
Over 85,000 gallons of saltwater exhibits, a tropical rain
forest and a South African lagoon feature animals and
plants from four continents, three oceans and various seas.
64 Dealey Plaza
Built over the original townsite, the park was designed
as a vehicular gateway to Dallas. The art deco garden
structures and landscaping were completed between 1938
and 1940. Named for George Bannerman Dealey, civic
leader and publisher of the Dallas Morning News, the
plaza earned a place in history in November 1963, when
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated while riding
in an open limousine. It is one of three National Historic
Landmarks in Dallas.
68 John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza
Designed by New York architect and Kennedy family
friend Philip Johnson, this stark, simple cenotaph, or open
tomb, was erected in 1970 by the citizens of Dallas County.
? Old Red Courthouse &
Tourist Information Center
Completed in 1892, Old Red
is the fifth permanent county
courthouse to occupy the
site. The Romanesque-revival
building, fashioned of Pecos
red sandstone with blue granite
from Arkansas and red granite
from Texas, is undergoing
restoration for use as the
Museum of Dallas County
History & Culture. Old Red
is also the site of Dallas’ high-
tech tourist information center.
109 The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
Located in the former Texas School Book Depository, the
award-winning museum examines the life, times, death and
legacy of President John F. Kennedy with permanent and
special exhibitions. It is thought that a sniper fired on
President Kennedy’s motorcade from a sixth floor window
of the building, which now serves as a Dallas County
administrative center.
112 West End MarketPlace
Built in 1911 as the home of Brown Cracker & Candy
Company, the building was transformed during the
1980s into a multilevel festival marketplace with shops,
restaurants and nightclubs.

96 Dallas Farmers Market
Established in 1941, the open-air farmers market is
one of the largest in the country. Open daily except
Christmas and New Year’s Day, the “freshest part of
Downtown” draws three million people annually for
fresh produce, plants, gift items, cooking classes and
special events. Over 1,500 apartments and townhouses
are situated east of the market, which also serves as the
gateway to Old City Park.
Harwood Historic District
Once a residential neighborhood, the area grew into a
film distribution zone to support Theater Row in the
1920s. Today, this unique district claims numerous city-
designated landmarks, representing diverse architectural
styles from the 1880s to the 1950s. Significant structures
include two Neo-Classical masterpieces, First Presbyterian
Church built in 1912 and Scottish Rite Cathedral
completed in 1913, and the Sullivanesque 14-story
Aristocrat Hotel, which Conrad Hilton opened in 1925
as his first high-rise.

In addition to the Districts that make up the “Inner
Loop” of Downtown Dallas, Downtown extends
to include portions of Uptown, Deep Ellum, The
Cedars, Victory and The Trinity.
Uptown Over 125 years ago, a streetcar was installed to spur
development north of The Central Business District.
Today, Uptown is a densely populated area of restored
19th-century bungalows, condominiums, shops,
hotels, restaurants and galleries, linked to the Arts
District via the free M-Line streetcar.
Deep Ellum
A haven for freed slaves after the Civil War, Deep
Ellum evolved into a 1920s jazz mecca and, more
recently, into a distinctive neighborhood of lofts,
galleries, restaurants, shops, nightclubs and the
Ricardo Legoretta-designed Latoni Cultural Center.
The Cedars
Developed south of the Central Business District in
the late 1800s, Dallas’ first affluent neighborhood
is undergoing redevelopment as a mixed-use
neighborhood. Significant structures include Old
City Park, the South Side on Lamar residential-retail
complex, Dallas Police Department headquarters and
Gilley’s Dallas.
Victory Anchored by American Airlines Center, home of the
NHL Dallas Stars and NBA Dallas Mavericks, the 72-
acre master planned development under construction
will consist of residential, retail, hotel and office space.
Recently announced projects include W. Dallas
Victory Hotel & Residences and the House by
Philippe Starck.
The Trinity
The Trinity River corridor is undergoing
transformation into what will be the centerpiece for
Dallas, providing breathtaking aesthetics, and first-
class recreational facilities. Internationally acclaimed
architect, sculptor and engineer Santiago Calatrava
has designed three bridges for the project, the first of
which began construction in 2005.

The first bricks along the avenue weren’t
even laid until 1914, and extended only
a mile from Magnolia to Rome avenues.
Hillsborough County added to the
development of Bayshore by building a
two-lane brick road that was just over
three miles in length.
On October 25, a hurricane entered the
mouth of Tampa Bay and struck directly
into the heart of downtown Tampa. The
devastating winds and rain from the
hurricane damaged homes, ruined much
of the seawall, and caused extensive
damage to the streetcar tracks along
Bayshore. It took more than four years
to rebuild the area damaged by the
storm.
This decade saw the birth of the
distinctive look of Bayshore’s
balustrade, through a redevelopment
project funded by the Works Progress
Administration, part of President
Roosevelt’s New Deal.
The streetcar system that had provided
service along Bayshore to Ballast Point
since the 1890s was eliminated.
The city annexed all of the property
south of Howard Avenue from
Hillsborough County. Bayshore’s
appearance began to change as well in
the 1960s with high-rise developments
replacing many of the single-family
residential homes.
Mayor Sandra Freedman approved a
contract to replace the balustrade,
create a bicycle path, a jogging and
running course, a physical fitness area,
and additional improvements to the
road, landscape, lighting, and sidewalks
adjacent to this beautiful scenic highway
Mayor Dick Greco added iconic
sculptures to the medians
Cantonment Brooke, the first modern
settlement in this area is established at the
mouth of the Hillsborough River as a U.S. Army
outpost on January 18, 1824. When the
Seminoles began to arrive, non-Indian settlers
began squatting on Fort Brooke land. The
military allowed them to remain outside the post
and soon a thriving trade sprang up between
the military, Seminoles, and civilians. The first
post office on the Central Gulf Coast of Florida
opened at Fort Brooke on November 24, 1831.
Near this site on the shore of the bay
once stood a large Native American
Temple Mound. The mound,
constructed over 3,000 years ago,
stood fifty feet in height and likely
included a large level space on top
where elaborately decorated temples
and residences of Indian chiefs and
shamans had stood. When the land
became part of Fort Brooke, troops
constructed an observation tower on
top of the mound.

The Second Seminole War was the
largest and costliest Indian War in
United States history. Fort Brooke, at
the time among the biggest military
bases in the country, served as
headquarters for the Army of the
South and command post during the
conflict. Supplies were shipped into
Tampa Bay and sent to smaller posts
and companies in the field.
Expeditions assembled on the parade
ground, and Seminoles were confined
at the post before being removed from
Florida.
During the Civil War, local Confederate
militia occupied Fort Brooke. Union Army
planners became concerned about the
potential of Tampa Bay and Fort Brooke
as a port of resupplying beleaguered
Confederate forces. In 1863, Union
gunboats landed a raiding party that
burned two of Captain James McKay’s
blockade runners anchored in the
Hillsborough River. The following year,
Union forces captured Fort Brooke and
destroyed what little was of value.

Alfred Ruben Swann and Eugene Holtsinger
organized the Swann and Holtsinger Company
in 1907 to develop the land south of Hyde Park
along Tampa’s southern bayshore. The two real
estate developers constructed a low sea wall
along a two-lane waterfront road lined by a wide
sidewalk and electric streetlights. Bayshore Drive
stretched 3.12 miles, south from Swann Avenue
to Rome Avenue.
In November of 1935, the Works Progress
Administration began an extensive restoration of
Bayshore Boulevard. From 1935 through 1938 the
Bayshore Redevelopment Project stretched from
Howard Avenue to the Platt Street Bridge. Workers
widened the existing road from two to four lanes,
installing an improved seawall and balustrade.
Bayshore Boulevard remains a defining element of
Tampa. Featuring what is considered the longest
contiguous sidewalk in the world, Bayshore offers
some of the most scenic views in urban Tampa
