· State Fair of Texas Administrative Offices |
|
- The offices of the State Fair of Texas administration staff and the former home of WRR Radio. This classic building is sometimes overlooked due to it's location next to the Midway entrance, the Cotton Bowl and Fair Park Coliseum surrounding it.
- Originally built in 1936 for "Civil Services" use, this building was the home to the Fire, Police and E.M.T. services for the 1936 Texas Centennial and for several years after. Also, WRR was housed in the building as a transmitting station. For several years, the building sat unused until 1993 when the State Fair of Texas was looking for new administrative offices and looking to move out of the old 1910 Coliseum (Women's Museum). - In 1994, the administrative offices opened in time for their oversight of the 1994 World Cup qualifying soccer matches. The building still contains the original entrances, although the fire access is now converted into offices and the doors no longer work. |
