This beautiful red building was once the Dallas County Courthouse built back in the late 1800’s. It has since then been turned into a museum for those interested in learning about the history of Dallas. I grew up about 8 minutes away from the Old Red Museum and as a little girl, I called it the big red castle. My dad used to work downtown so, we often drove by this enchanting piece of architecture. I grew up proclaiming to my parents that I would someday get married in the big red castle then proceed to live in it someday afterword’s. Obviously that dream of mine will never come true considering it is a historical building. Looking at photos of the Old Red Museum now, I think I was so attracted to it because of its dark red stones, castle like features, the windows, and the clock tower. I have always been fascinated with historical building because they trigger my imagination as I wonder what went on in the buildings before they became historical monuments.
