Description:
DOWNTOWN. This incredible Romanesque Revival building, after many years of neglect, has been restored to its original glory, and its architectural impact and details are once again exquisite. Built in the early 1890s and located near the cabin home of city founder John Neely Bryan, the courthouse stands as one of Dallas's oldest structures. The multi-leveled structure showcases turrets, ornate gargoyles, and an exterior of Pecos red sandstone and Arkansas gray granite. Its impressive clock tower and dramatic central staircase have been rebuilt to restore the architect's design and intentions, and a museum about Dallas history, along with exhibition galleries, are helping to make the building an integral part of the city again. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Step back in time at this quaint, Victorian-era park and attraction. Created in 1976, the complex sits on 13 acres and features almost 40 historic buildings. Visitors can tour a blacksmith shop, a general store, and even the inside of a teepee. The facility also features a Victorian bandstand and a church. Dallas Heritage Village offers an intriguing look at what life in North Texas was like over a hundred years ago. Even better, living history interpreters bring the era to life with informative commentary and experiences. |
