Long Description:
Fountain Place is a 60 story skyscraper in downtown Dallas, built in 1986 on Ross Ave at N Field Street. The design firm, I.M. Pei and Partners, architected a striking addition to the Dallas skyline. It is a diamond/prism shaped building, giving a different profile from any angle you view the building. At the base of the building is a delightful plaza area with dozens of fountains, trees and a waterfall... a downtown oasis.
