The main entrance to Fair Park on Parry Avenue is composed of an eighty-five-foot-high

central pylon visible from downtown, flanked by cubic ticket structures. Although planned as part of the Fair concept, a monumental civic boulevard through industrial East Dallas to downtown was never built. Within the entrance is the expansive Grand Plaza, with a grove of oaks installed in Kessler’s time. To the south of the plaza, the Spanish Colonial Revival Fair Park Auditorium (1925, Lang and Witchell) was remodeled as the General Motors Building to display automobiles.
