This structure sits on the site where the original ranch house of Cloyce Box, former NFL Football player and Texas oil man, once stood.
It was part of the 200+ acre 'Box Ranch,' and is located at the corner of Main street and Preston road in Frisco, Texas.
Cloyce Box bought the ranch in 1965, after it had sat vacant for several years and remodeled it extensively.
The original house was used by the producers of the hit television series 'Dallas,' in 1978.
It was the supposed 'Southfork Ranch,' home of the Ewing clan.
The house was used exclusively for exterior shots, all interior shots being filmed in the 'Swiss House,' located on Swiss avenue in Dallas.
Mister Box kicked the production crew off the property after filming of the first five episodes either due to disruption of ranch activities, or as some have reported because it was drawing unwanted attention to his 'unsavory business activities,' or due to the 'racy' nature of the show - take your pick.
Production then moved to Parker, Texas (about 25 miles East) to 'Duncan Acres,' (see my 'Southfork Ranch' set for images of it).
In 1986, Box began renovations a second time on the house and a worker brought a compressor in the house and the heat from the exhaust set a pail of paint thinner on fire.
The worker tried to toss it out of the house but spilled it and set off a huge fire.
There were no hydrants in the area at the time and engines pumping from the pond coudn't keep pace with the flames which destroyed the 28 room house.
Mr. Box attempted to rebuild the house, but financial and health problems forced him to abandon the effort.
The ranch was then sold to its current owner, Baxter Brinkmann (2 N's), and now consists of nearly 2,000 acres.
The structure you see is merely metal poles supporting a tin roof. If you look closely you can see trees through the structure.

At 7:48PM on November 25, 2021 the Los Angeles City Fire Department responded to a reported structure fire at 1820 E 48th Place in the Central-Alameda area. The address, site of a Greater Alarm fire two nights prior, included four large, adjoining buildings which housed multiple businesses. Heavy fire was showing from one building, already through the roof upon LAFD arrival.
Truck companies deployed ladder pipes and engine companies flowed wagon batteries while establishing large diameter hand lines. Forcible entry was required to open all the rolling steel doors and give firefighters access to the blaze from the exterior.
An entrenched battle continued through the night with 115 firefighters, under the command of Assistant Chief Kristina Kepner, working aggressively to defend the adjoining structures. Their efforts prevented the fire from extending and protected numerous businesses.
LAFD Arson and Counter-Terrorism Section had an open investigation into the cause of the fire at this address on November 23, 2021 and were on scene to conduct the cause investigation into this fire as well, which remains ongoing.

The Tomb of Hafez and its associated memorial hall, the Hāfezieh, are two memorial structures erected in the northern edge of Shiraz, Iran, in memory of the celebrated Persian poet Hafez. The open pavilion structures are situated in the Musalla Gardens on the north bank of a seasonal river and house the marble tomb of Hafez.
Hafez was born in Shiraz in 1315 and died there in 1390. A beloved figure of the Iranian people, who learn his verses by heart, Hafez was prominent in his home town and held a position as the court poet.[1] In his memory, a small, dome-like structure was erected in Shiraz near his grave at Golgast-e Mosalla in 1452 at the order of Babur Ibn-Baysunkur, a Timurid governor. The Golgast-e Mosalla were gardens (now known as Musalla Gardens) that featured in Hafiz's poetry. With a surface of over 19,000 square metres, the gardens were also home to one of Shiraz's cemeteries, and Babur had a pool built here at the same time as the memorial. Believing they were ordered by omens in Hafez's poetry, Abbas I of Persia and Nader Shah both carried out separate restoration projects in the following 300 years.[2]

A much more substantial memorial was constructed in the gardens in 1773 during the reign of Karim Khan Zand. Situated on the north bank of the seasonal Rudkhaneye Khoshk river in the Musalla Gardens, the Hāfezieh consisted of four central columns, with two rooms built at the east and west end and with the north and south sides remaining open. The building split the gardens into two regions, with the orange grove in the front and the cemetery in the back. The actual tomb was outside of the structure, in the middle of the cemetery, with a marble slab placed over the grave. The marble was engraved by a calligrapher with excerpts from Hafez's poetry.[2]
The tomb was restored in 1857 by a governor of Fars, and a wooden enclosure was built around the tomb in 1878, by another governor of Fars. Following this, the site became a subject of controversy, when, in 1899, Ardeshir, a Parsi from India began to build a shrine around Hafez's grave. Although the philanthropist Parsi had obtained permission from a ulema of Shiraz to build the iron and wood shrine, a doctor of religious law with some authority in Shiraz, ʿAli-Akbar Fāl-Asiri, objected to a Zoroastrian building over the grave of a Muslim. With his followers, he destroyed the half-built construction. The people of Shiraz protested the destruction and the government ordered the rebuilding of the monument, but Fāl-Asiri opposed them and pronounced that he would destroy any building raised there, even if it were erected by the king himself.[2]
The site remained in ruins for two years, until 1901 when Prince Malek Mansur Mirza Shao es-Saltaneh placed a decorative iron transenna around Hafez's tomb. It was inscribed with verse and the names of the patrons of the transenna
I love the shape, colour and structure of artichoke. Of course you can eat them, lovely, but these ones are allowed to grow and show their violet flowers inside. But we need patience.
The Central Shaheed Minar, an imposing structure in red bricks, rises seventy one feet high into the open sky from its base and is dedicated to the martyrs of the Language Movement. The three seventy-one feet columns, the fifty-two feet base and the eight steps leading up to the base are symbolic of our culture and events in our national life.
