"The exterior of the Tower Building features a decorative frieze, 7 feet, 2 inches high and 175 feet in length, which utilizes symbolic figures to tell the story of Texas' history. Although the frieze is in plain sight throughout the year, most visitors to Fair Park seem to ignore it. The next time you visit, perhaps you might take a closer look at the work of artist Julian Garnsey, a "California and New York artist of international reputation."
