An unlikely downtown Dallas high-rise is on its way toward becoming an official historic landmark: One Main Place, which is but 48 years old.
At the request of the building’s New Orleans-based owners, the city’s Landmark Commission voted unanimously Monday afternoon to begin designation proceedings. Should the 33-story tower on Main Street, across from Belo Garden, receive the Plan Commission and City Council’s blessings, it will become one of downtown’s youngest landmarks alongside such elders as the 105-year-old Adolphus Hotel and the circa-1943 Mercantile Bank Building…
Besides, the building—designed in 1964 by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill—is already a landmark.
