I worked for Braniff in the Reservations Center in that building from 1966 until 1978. It would be a shame to allow that piece of Dallas history, and the memory of a fine airline, be destroyed. Save it.

So historic with amazing designs & so sentimentally important to thousands of former employees & Native Dallasites like myself!! Thanks so much for all your hard work to preserve our beautiful heritage!

An absolutely beautiful structure that I would love to see renovated and opened to the general public. Braniff is also one of my favorite airlines due to their Flying Colors scheme which I wish could be resurrected as well.

I working in that building in the late 1970's, walking its halls endlessly while working for Buford "Boo" Minter and then helping to computerize check maintenance workflow. I would like at the very least to have the chance to walk fhrough the building one last time.

Braniff was the largest airline at love field. No airline was Kooler. Gucci stewerdess uniforms and wildly painted jets.

My dad, O.B. Boldt, an engine inspector with a perfect record, worked there from the time it opened till one year before it closed when he retired. He is gone now having passed in 2009 at the age of 93. His whole life was aviation. He lived it, breathed it, talked about it all the time. I still have some stuff from there. My point is he wasn't alone. All of those men and women worked very hard and loved the company. It was a very important part of the history of Dallas Love Field and should be refurbished and open to the public to view.

Too beautiful a structure to be destroyed. Let's preserve something from Braniff's colorful past.

Glad to see an economically viable adaptive reuse for this great example of Modernism is planned!

Too historical and simply too important to have this building demolished. Currently in the Seychelles and having known Braniff employees I know first hand their contributions to air travel

This needs to be saved. Braniff was an important part of aviation history and deserves to be memorialized for the. future.

Save this gorgeous landmark. When you do, please please have a museum section that displays the stunning design work that Halston did for Braniff.
