Dallas County Records Building Renovation Project
For the future of Dallas County and the representation of all its citizens, we are reviving the Dallas County Records Building Complex by renewing each of its three historic buildings. The Complex will prove a unique intersection of the old and the new and a simultaneous encapsulation of the past, present and future of Dallas County.
“It’s important to tell the story. Dallas County has a fascinating history. The challenge is to preserve as much as we can and not forget the past.”
~ Darryl Martin, Dallas County Administrator
