The Dallas Woman's Forum Building is a great event space. The building itself is an Historical Landmark. It is the former home of C.H. Alexander in 1906. It was known throughout Dallas as the Alexander Mansion.
The Woman's Forum is an organization committed to empowering women and children through education and advocacy. The group purchased the building and also makes it available to the public for weddings, holiday parties, corporate events, meetings, luncheon, tea parties, bridal showers, dinners, and cocktail parties.
I came here for an authors forum. The building proved to be a perfect setting for that event as well.
While it is a really neat event space with a decent sized parking lot, it could use a little restoration. Keep in mind it is an old building, and old buildings need a lot of work. For example the front porch has tiles missing, and the interior has walls and corners that need touching up, floors that could use refinishing, etc. Granted, most events will detract from many of those things, but to be good stewards of the rich history these old buildings possess, their owners should make certain they are kept in their original glory...in my humble opinion.
Overall, this building is a treasure though and the city is blessed that the Dallas Woman's Forum shares it with the community! read more
