One Main Place, Office skyscraper in Main Street District, Dallas, US.
One Main Place is a 33-story office and hotel tower in downtown Dallas that reaches 445 feet tall and displays clean lines of mid-century modern design. The building combines office spaces, the Westin hotel, dining venues, meeting rooms, and recreational facilities including a pool on the 32nd floor.
The structure was completed in 1968 by the architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill as part of a pioneering effort to create an integrated mixed-use urban development. The project reflected Dallas's ambition during the 1960s to reimagine downtown through modern design principles and large-scale building initiatives.
The building serves as a working downtown landmark where office workers and hotel guests move through its shared spaces daily. The recessed plazas on both sides create public gathering areas that feel separate from the busy street, offering moments of relief within the urban environment.
The building is accessible during daytime hours from multiple street-level entrances and from the recessed plazas on either side. Visitors can explore the lobby and public spaces, with the side plazas offering good spots to rest or observe downtown activity.
The tower appeared in the television series Dallas as the fictional office building of character Cliff Barnes, making it a location that television fans recognize from the show. This connection to a legendary 1980s series added cultural value beyond its architectural importance.
