Arts District Tour: Anchored by the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA), which was designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes, the Arts District is bounded by Woodall Rodgers Freeway, Ross Avenue and St. Paul and Routh streets. The district is home to the historic Cathedral Santuario de Guadalupe , the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, and many other points of interest. The Dallas Museum of Art displays a portion of its sculpture collection within its walled garden. The 50-story Trammell Crow Center boasts a shaded sculpture garden at its base that includes bronzes by Emile Antoine Bourdelle and Auguste Rodin. The Nasher Sculpture Center, which is scheduled to open in 2002 near the DMA, will bring works from one of the world's most significant private art collections to this area. Visit this tour Downtown North Tour: This portion of the central business district is south of Ross Avenue, east of Akard Street and north of Pacific Avenue. It includes two of Dallas' most historic and architecturally impressive churches. First Baptist Church dates back to the 19th century. First Methodist Church , on the corner of Ross and Harwood, has a special place in Dallas history. At the time of its completion in 1926, it was the only church that cost more than a million dollars to construct and had a sanctuary that could seat more than 1,000 people. Visit this tour City Hall Tour : The Dallas City Hall is a nine-story, 691,000-square-foot inverted pyramid set on a seven-acre plaza. Renowned architect I.M. Pei designed City Hall and its plaza. His other well-known works include the Grand Louvre in Paris. His Dallas commissions include the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, Fountain Place and Energy Plaza. City Hall plaza is home to many outdoor events as well as The Dallas Piece, a monumental sculpture by Henry Moore. Also in this part of town are the old Federal Reserve Bank, the Convention Center, Pioneer Park Cemetery and the J. Erik Jonsson Central Library. Dallas' main library has a copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed on July 4, 1776. View it in the Declaration of Independence Room on the seventh floor, a floor that also houses a priceless First Folio of Shakespeare - the first complete edition of Shakespeare's plays, printed in 1623. Visit this tour Downtown Central: This area of downtown is replete with historic architecture, points of interest and outdoor installations. When you are within the boundaries of Main, Field, Federal and Ervay streets, stop by Thanksgiving Square at Bryan and Ervay Streets. Architect Philip Johnson designed its spiral-shaped chapel, which features stained glass by Gabriel Loire. Nearby is the old downtown Post Office and U.S. Courthouse on Bryan Street. The historic Magnolia Building at Commerce and Akard streets was the tallest structure south of Washington, D.C., when it opened in 1922. It was also Dallas' first true skyscraper – 29 stories, 416 feet, a slice of New York transplanted to the prairie. Pegasus Plaza, an unusual urban park with a soothing fountain and carved stones, shares the block with the Magnolia. Visit this tour Reunion Area: Alongside Dallas' most recognizable landmark, Reunion Tower, this portion of downtown is host to a variety of cultural activities. Bordered by Commerce, Houston, Young and Lamar streets, it is home to the Kennedy Memorial, designed by Philip Johnson. Nearby is "Old Red," a former county courthouse that has received Texas Historic Landmark status. Designed by architect M.A. Orlopp in the Romanesque Revival style, the courthouse was completed in 1892 and now serves as a visitors center. Union Station, at the southwest corner of this district, is a restored railroad terminal that houses Amtrak and connects to Reunion Tower via an underground tunnel. Visit this tour Downtown West: Surrounding the tallest building in Dallas, Bank of America's 921-foot skyscraper, this area is home to the West End historic district and several celebrated sculptures. Loosely defined as north of Main Street and west of Akard Street, this area boasts a work by Alexander Liberman, an artist known for pioneering the technique of assembling and welding pieces of junk steel into large-scale sculptures. One of downtown's most entertaining and refreshing sculptural experiences is near the intersection of Ross and Field streets. Fountain Place is a water sculpture, a tree-shaded oasis set amid the highrises of downtown Dallas. The site's most amazing fountain lies flat to the ground and has holes that shoot water straight up at varying heights and moments like choreographed dancers. During the summer months, children often play in the dancing water. In a more somber vein, The Sixth Floor Museum in the West End commemorates the life and legacy of President John F. Kennedy.
