The Dallas Arts District and the Dallas Center for Architecture present an architecture walking tour of the largest urban arts district in the United States. The Arts District has been a thirty-year plan in the making and now boasts buildings by four Pritzker Prize-winning architects within a span of several blocks. The District’s architectural richness extends beyond that, however, with examples of buildings present at the turn of the 19th century when the neighborhood was the poshest residential district in town on one end and a vibrant African-American settlement on the other. The 90-minute architecture walking tour is led by a trained tour guide and will examine buildings from the 1890s to the present day. Explore the architectural detail of the District as well as the institutions, individuals and visionaries who are a part of this fascinating story. dallascfa.com
