The Dallas World Trade Center

2050 Stemmons Freeway, Dallas, 75207

Phone: 214-655-6100

Dedicated in 1974, the building was expanded from 7 to 15 floors in 1979, reaching 3.1 million square feet. The ground floor of the 15-story atrium features the Hall of Nations, a display of flags from around the world. Also located on the first floor are exporters, Market Travel, a U.S. post office, shipping services and The Gourmet Market, the largest permanent wholesale gourmet showroom in the world.

The upper floors house showrooms of gifts, decorative accessories, lighting, furniture, rugs, bed, bath, and linen, fabric, jewelry, toys and design furnishings. Fashion Center Dallas, the new home for apparel and accessories, opened in March 2004 and offers more than 12,000 product lines. Related temporary exhibits are located on floors 1, 12 and 13 during markets.

Thank you, Austin-hippie Hillbilly.

Looks a bit like downtown LA's financial district.

Nice shots, but their downtown suffers from the typical "office park" syndrome, hence the empty public squares.
