TYLER, TX (KLTV) - In February 2009, a massive fire destroyed several buildings in downtown Tyler. When the smoke cleared, all that remained were the facades of the buildings-pieces of history that Smith County residents didn't want to lose.

Today, Smith County Commissioners unveiled the new Smith County Plaza that incorporates the facades. Brookshire's, the Genecov Group and Jacobi Construction teamed up to build the plaza.
