The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey PlazaAmong several significant downtown buildings completed
100 years ago in 1913 was the Busch Building, now known
as the Kirby Building. The St. Louis firm of Barnett, Hayes
& Barnett designed the structure in a Gothic commercial
style. Originally home to A. Harris Department Store, it now
houses loft apartments.
These two postcard images were produced after the
Adolphus Hotel opened in 1912 but before the Busch
Building was completed in 1913. The top image looks south
on Akard, with the Oriental Hotel at the end and the back of
the Adolphus on the right. The tall building on the left, where
Pegasus Plaza is now located, was the Southwestern Life
Building. The other image looks west on Main from near St.
Paul. The Wilson Building is prominent on the right, and the
Adolphus can be seen in the far left corner.
