We had an amazing tour yesterday of the Old Municipal Building, with a sold-out crowd, and many attendees who shared personal stories and memories of the building from decades past. Special thanks to our hosts and guides: Chad Joyce and Cassandra Nash from University of North Texas; President Bob Mong of UNT Dallas; De’Borah Taylor from UNT Dallas College of Law; and Anne Stimmel and the whole team from Architexas - Architecture, Planning and Historic Preservation, Inc. ...

Stayed there in the '70s for a few days, I wouldn't recommend it. The other guests were loud and obnoxious and the room service was non-existent.

Hi!!! I tried to get tickets 🎟️ but the sale has ended. Do you have more dates for this tour?

Also wondering if still possible to get tickets.

It says sales have ended 😕

Hi everyone! Interest in the Old Municipal Building In-Town Outing has been much greater than we expected, and we are working around constraints with limited capacity. We created a waitlist on the Eventbrite page to help manage this. Please sign up for the waitlist and we will contact you if/when new tickets are made available.

Can another date be added? I am just now seeing this post and would love to tour the building.
