Fresh Look

This image of the C.D. Hill architect-designed Dallas Municipal Building gives us a fresh look at Dallas—past and present. Here is an architecturally significant downtown Dallas building that we have all been to but seldom see. The current side entrance distracts us from seeing this fabulous building which exemplifies the architectural chops of architect C.D. Hill. Downtown buildings like this one built in 1914 mark the establishment of Dallas as an important city. It also marks the revitalization of downtown and the architectural talent Dallas had in the early 1900s. Architect C.D. Hill also designed many other important downtown buildings and some of the most important homes in Munger Place and Highland Park. Many great architects like C.D. Hill are responsible for both architecturally significant buildings downtown and in our neighborhoods. When we recognize and appreciate one of these architect’s works, we can better appreciate their other architectural contributions. It is fun to take a fresh look at the glorious downtown buildings and neighborhood homes architect C.D. Hill designed. *Fresh Look
