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.
