Description
Architect: Alfred C. Bossom

- The "Flying red horse" is a symbol of Dallas, being the corparate logo to the Magnolia Petrolum Company which built the building. One of the tallest points in the skyline and a recognizible signature,it was an Icon. However,in 1977 when the company moved out,the sign was in disrepair,and in 1997 the sign was turned of.

- In 1999 it was completly rebuilt,and to commerate the turn of the centruy the Peguses was lit back up.
