Dallas County Historical Plaza

Kennedy Memorial, Founder's Plaza and More


Off The Beaten Path

Address:
Main St and Market St
Dallas, TX 75202

Description

Reaching across the space behind (east) of the Old Red Courthouse on the edge of downtown, this plaza has long been home to the John Neely Bryan cabin, the first home of the pioneer credited with settling Dallas. In early 2006, the cabin had been moved temporarily while an underground parking garage was being built beneath the plaza. What you can see at this time is the stark but deeply moving John F. Kennedy Memorial, a tribute to the slain president and a work by the late, renowned architect Philip Johnson.
