A while back I wrote a brief entry about the Sixth Floor Museum – the facility in Dallas’ historic West End that celebrates the life (and tragic death) of President John F. Kennedy, who was murdered by an assassin stationed in the very warehouse, and on the very floor, where the museum is located now. The Sixth Floor Museum is the most obvious of the local tributes to that day in November 1963, but it’s not the only reminder of our shared civic tragedy.

The D/FW area, despite its relatively brief cultural history, has some truly interesting architecture to behold. I’m not talking about glass-and-steel monstrosities, though you can find those a-plenty; I mean those things that were built for the ages, the structures that come to mind when anyone thinks of the Metroplex. These are buildings that, if they haven’t already survived decades (or more) of our tear-down-and-rebuild culture, doubtless will, as they’re so striking to look at.
