Old Red Courthouse

Why go

The courthouse’s richly colored stone and Romanesque detailing bring a different century of Dallas into the Dealey Plaza streetscape. Look at the exterior as a civic landmark rather than assuming a museum visit inside. Its scale and materials make a useful counterpoint to the nearby memorial and the plaza’s roadway, adding architectural depth to this historically dense part of downtown.

What to look for

• Red sandstone and granite courthouse exterior
• Romanesque civic architecture beside Dealey Plaza

Useful to know
