Welcome to Paradox City

<p><strong>A first-of-its-kind history, <i>Welcome to Paradox City </i>offers a unique history of Dallas through its most significant buildings.</strong></p> <p>Through an exceptional blend of architectural history, social history and critical writing, <i>Dallas Morning News</i> contributor Mark Lamster takes readers from the sun-scorched origins of Dallas as a remote outpost on the Texas frontier, and traces its development into the dynamic, if imperfect, metropolis we know today. Engaging and thoughtful, <em>Welcome to Paradox City </em>is an astonishing and illuminating look at the often-invisible ways that architecture is more than just a building, or a skyline. It is something that shapes a city and its culture from its founding, to the present, and onward into the future.</p>
