The Owen Arts Center in the Algur H. Meadows School of the Arts was designed by celebrated Dallas architect, George L. Dahl, and it opened in 1965. Dahl reportedly never submitted a bill for the project.
Late in his life, around the time I arrived in Dallas (the late 1970s), Dahl was embroiled in a series of bitter legal battles with his daughter (and her family) over a trust that had been set up by his late first wife.
In order to secure her money, Dahl's daughter tried to have him declared mentally incompetent, just as he was about to remarry -- and it led to many other legal cases. Dahl won his competency trial, but more lawsuits over the money ensued. D Magazine covered it in a wrenching in-depth article...
