| Dallas chose to honor the memory of
the story-book President by erecting this wonderful monument.
This 30-foot-high, 50-foot-square monument was erected in 1970.
The open-air structure in the historic west end, resembles an
ancient tomb. It is the first memorial by famed American architect
and Kennedy family friend, Philip Johnson. The monument, built
with the help of private donations from the citizens of Dallas,
is open 24 hours daily and is lighted at night. |

This venue is an outstanding accomplishment both architecturally
and culturally. Noted as having some of the finest acoustics in
America, the hall is the crown jewel of the Arts District downtown.
The center was opened in 1989 and is hallmarked by the Lay Family
Organ. Rising the full height of the concert chamber behind the
stage, the organ is one of the largest mechanical action organs
ever built for a concert hall. The center stage is home to the
Dallas Symphony Orchestra as well as a variety of other musical
and non-musical events throughout the year. One-hour public tours
are offered each Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Tours start at
1pm, performance schedule permitting. There is no fee for the
tour. Group tours are available for parties of 15 or more by appointment.
Performance times vary. |
