Although we have lived in the Dallas area for a decade, we have never visited the Thanks-Giving Square in Downtown. Thanks-Giving Square was designed by renowned American architect Philip Johnson, and completed in 1976. The peaceful courtyard, fountains, chapel and more are situated on a three-acre triangular block set amid soaring skyscrapers in the heart of downtown Dallas.
The chapel is an amazing spiral with a stained glass ceiling that spiral upward to 58 feet. The stained glass goes from darker colors to lighter symbolizing the lightness in your heart as you become more thankful.
There is a gold ring echo chamber where you can stand back to back with a friend and announce your thankfulness. There is a Thankful Stone, like a 'Blarney Stone' where you can inwardly express thankfulness.
There is just a lot to see and it is all surrounded by scripture and goodness. It is a very peaceful. I wish I had checked this out sooner!
