Old Red Museum

The Old Red Museum is located downtown in one of the oldest buildings in Dallas. Built in 1892, our museum showcases Dallas' wonderful history.

Did you know our grand staircase was almost completely removed in the 1920s to make room for more office space? The photo on the left shows the staircase area when museum renovations began. The photo on the right shows our restored grand staircase today.

A fantastic view of the Grand Staircase at #OldRedMuseum from the fourth Floor. It was removed in the 1920s to make room for additional office space then later restored and reconstructed to resemble the original 1892 appearance.

Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow passed through Dallas on occasion and are generally known for their notorious crime spree. Interestingly, Barrow was also a carpenter. A jewelry box he created while serving jail time now calls #OldRed home.
