Kirby Building

Kirby Building

The Kirby Building is a 16-story high-rise in Downtown Dallas that was completed in 1913. Beer magnate Adolphus Busch constructed the Kirby building to accompany his newly built Adolphus Hotel. The building went vacant with many older buildings when downtown was overbuilt in the 1980s. While the building was symbolic of downtown's crash in the 1980s, it also served as a symbol of the start of the resurrection as it became the first high-rise to be reconverted from office use to residential.
