They built big institutional buildings like the Hall of State and the Dallas Museum of Fine Art and the Natural History Museum and a lot of other smaller buildings and other art pieces and architecture pieces for about $25 million, which doesn't sound like a lot of money, but in 1935, 1936, it was.

It was one of my favorite things to do.

Growing up in the Dallas area and still today, one of my favorite things to do to go explore Fair Park, it's got one of the biggest collections of art deco architecture in the country, but maintaining it has been a real challenge.

Owen DuffyGUEST
Our building was designed by the Japanese architect, Yoshio Taniguchi.
Owen DuffyGUEST
And that makes for a very special viewing experience for these works and probably an opportunity that Amano surely did not want to pass up on.
