About time. This is the building across the street from DART's Pearl Street/Arts District station.

"The Old Dallas High School was built in 1907 and has been vacant about 20 years."

"The Old Dallas High School has long been considered one of the most threatened landmarks in downtown Dallas. It’s also one of the few historic, vacant properties in the center city that hasn’t already been converted into a new use."

No, this isn't earth-shattering. But it's a part of Dallas's history, and it's fantastic that they're not tearing it down for a parking lot, or another skyscraper with a huge setback that has the street appeal of a fortress.

I like the fact that so many buildings downtown have been repurposed. Here's another. This is the ugly building next door to City Hall. It's 103 years old.
