DOWNTOWN WEST TOUR

Surrounding the tallest building in Dallas, Bank of America’s 921-foot skyscraper, this area is home tothe 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.
