[My favorite place is the] Swine Building (historic name: Livestock Building No. 2) by George Dahl for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition. It is designed perfectly for its purpose, is extremely well crafted and it oozes (sadly, this is literal in some places) historic integrity; even the 1936 paint remains.
