Description
Amidst many of the skyscrapers in Dallas TX sits this graceful building, the Belo Mansion. The current home of the Dallas Bar Association, the Belo Mansion on Ross Avenue was built around 1890 by Colonel A. H. Belo, founder of the Dallas Morning News. In the late 1800s, Ross Avenue was one of Dallas' most prestigious addresses, where the city's most successful bankers, manufacturers, merchants and lawyers resided. The mansion was modeled after the family's home in North Carolina. in the Classical Revival style. Members of the Belo family lived here only until 1922. In 1926, a 50-year lease was negotiated between the Belo family and George Loudermilk and Will Sparkman to use the property as a funeral home - Loudermilk-Sparkman Funeral Home. It later gained notoriety when the bullet-riddled body of Clyde Barrow (of the infamous Bonnie and Clyde) was presented for public viewing in the front parlor. The mansion was purchased from the family in 1978 by the Dallas Bar Association, which completed two additions to the home, including a 7,000-square-foot, glass-roofed atrium and pavilion. It is now a premier place for wedding receptions and other large events in Dallas.
