Sundance Square

In its 19th Century heyday, downtown Fort Worth was known as Hell’s Half Acre — a hangout for outlaws, cattlemen, cowboys, gamblers and assorted legendary characters. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (Harry Longabaugh) frequented the area. Today, much of the bygone era’s historic architecture and heritage have been restored in a 20-block district. Many buildings along Main Street date from the early days. The Morris Building (306-08) housed the notorious White Elephant Saloon; Jett Building (400) features the “The Chisholm Trail”, a trompe l’oeil mural commemorating the cattle drives of 1867-1875; Sid Richardson Museum (309) houses a superb Western art collection. The area receives international focus as a downtown revitalization model: modern entertainment, residential and office components blended into an historical architectural setting.
