Historic Alamo Plaza Hotel Courts in Dallas, Texas

My mother grew up across the street from the Alamo Plaza Hotel Courts. Built in the 1940's, the Alamo Plaza remained in business until about 2006. It has been in disrepair since then and is scheduled to be demolished in January or February, 2011. These photos show the beginnings of the demolition. As I understand it, the new developer will build upscale loft apartments and retail businesses on the property. The historic sign (added in 1959) is to be incorporated into the new theme.
