Municipal Building, Bird’s-Eye View

Dallas’ beautiful City Hall
by Paula Bosse
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever have the time or energy to write a proper historical post again. I’m still dealing with a lengthy illness of a family member, a situation which has all but taken over my life. Someday I’ll get back to researching and writing. But for now, here’s a really cool photo I came across on eBay a year ago — I’ve never seen this view of the Municipal Building. Or the Hilton. I like this photo so much I’m posting it even though it has a dreaded watermark.

Sure would be cool to only pay $1.50 for a hotel room now!

Ha! The equivalent in today’s money would be about $23 – but that still an amazing deal!

I worked in the city jail in the 70’s. Neat old building. Glad it was saved the fate of a lot of other Dallas buildings. We used to fly kites off the top.

If you ever come across photos of people flying kites off the roof, David, I would love to see them!

[…] I really like this view of the Municipal Building that I posted recently. I try to avoid posting images with watermarks, but I’d never seen this before, and it’s cool. From “Municipal Building — Bird’s-Eye View.” […]
