Although some of Dallas's architecture dates from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most of the notable architecture in the city is from the [[modern architecture|modernist]] and [[postmodern architecture|postmodernist]] eras. Iconic examples of modernist architecture include [[Reunion Tower]], the [[John Fitzgerald Kennedy Memorial]], [[I. M. Pei]]'s [[Dallas City Hall]] and the [[Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center]].<ref>{{Cite web|date=March 5, 2020|title=Architect of Fountain Place who shaped Dallas, dies at 93|url=https://www.dallasnews.com/arts-entertainment/architecture/2020/03/05/architect-of-fountain-place-who-shaped-dallas-dies-at-93/|access-date=September 16, 2020|website=Dallas News|language=en}}</ref> Good examples of postmodernist skyscrapers are [[Fountain Place]], [[Bank of America Plaza (Dallas)|Bank of America Plaza]], [[Renaissance Tower (Dallas)|Renaissance Tower]], [[JPMorgan Chase Tower (Dallas)|JPMorgan Chase Tower]], and [[Comerica Bank Tower]]. [[Downtown Dallas]] also has residential offerings in downtown, some of which are signature skyline buildings. Several smaller structures are fashioned in the [[Gothic Revival architecture|Gothic Revival]] style, such as the [[Kirby Building]], and the [[neoclassical architecture|neoclassical]] style, as seen in the [[Davis Building (Dallas, Texas)|Davis]] and [[Wilson Building (Dallas, Texas)|Wilson]] Buildings. One architectural "hotbed" in the city is a stretch of historic houses along [[Swiss Avenue]], which has all shades and variants of architecture from [[Victorian architecture|Victorian]] to neoclassical.<ref>[http://www.swissavenue.com/index.asp Swissavenue.com] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060703014046/http://www.swissavenue.com/index.asp |date=July 3, 2006 }} β Retrieved June 13, 2006.{{cite web|url=http://swissavenue.com/index.asp |title=Swiss Avenue |access-date=October 21, 2010 |url-status=unfit |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060207024307/http://swissavenue.com/index.asp <!-- Bot retrieved archive --> |archive-date=February 7, 2006}}</ref> The [[Dallas Downtown Historic District]] protects a cross-section of Dallas commercial architecture from the 1880s to the 1940s.
