 Historic Gothic Revival Catholic church |
2215 Ross Avenue Dallas, TX 75201-2707 United States +1 214 871 1362 http://www.cathedralguadalupe.... info@cathedralguadalupe.org |
This historic landmark, built in 1898-1902 by an architect whose identity remains a mystery, is the sentinel to not only the Catholic Church, but also the essence of a bygone era. This Gothic Revival church has survived monumental changes in the landscape of downtown Dallas. It is built of locally produced brick, and renovations over the decades have retained the integrity and dignity of the original structure. This church has served as the base for Dallas' Roman Catholic Bishop since its completion in 1902. Remember to enjoy the exterior of the building without disturbing Mass. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Frank Lloyd Wright's only U.S. theater |
3636 Turtle Creek Boulevard Dallas, TX 75219-5598 United States +1 214 526 8210 / +1 214 522 8499 http://www.dallastheatercenter... comments@dallastheatercenter.org |
You will thoroughly enjoy seeing a play in this beautiful theater. It's the only one in America designed by the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Both lifelong residents and visitors to the city appreciate the diversity of performances that range from a lighthearted Oscar Wilde or Neil Simon play to a thought-provoking historical drama. If you are planning to visit the city in late March, be sure to catch the annual Dallas Video Festival. The center is actually a complex composed of the Kalita Humphreys Theater built in 1959 and the barn like Arts District Theater (located at 2401 Flora Street), which was built in the 1980s.

Fine Spanish art collection |
5900 Bishop Blvd Southern Methodist University Dallas, TX 75275 United States +1 214 768 2516 http://www.meadowsmuseumdallas... |
Few cities outside of Spain have a finer collection of Spanish art than what is exhibited in this Dallas museum. The funds to construct it were donated by oil magnate Algur H. Meadows back in the 1960s and was built in memory of his first wife. The nearby Elizabeth Meadows sculpture garden was inspired by Mr. Meadow's love for his second wife. The museum's permanent collection includes such works as Velasquez's "Sibyl With Tabula Rasa," Picasso's "Still LIfe in a Landscape" and Goya's "Yard With Madmen." The sculpture garden includes works by both Rodin and Claes Oldenburg. Review © 2007, Wcities |
