In 1934, this brilliant neon Pegasus icon was on the top of the headquarters of the Magnolia Oil Co., which was the tallest building in Dallas for years. The red Pegasus stayed lit atop the Magnolia building until 1999 and was replaced by a shiny new version that was lit January 2000. The original Pegasus was hidden in storage until 2015, when it was renovated and placed in front of the Omni Dallas Hotel downtown. Today, Dallasites are obsessed with this winged horse and consider it as a symbol for the city.

The door is located in an alley on the south side of McKinney Street between Elm and Locust. Keep an eye out for Dan Black’s amazing mural incorporating plant life while your there. This spot does have local business parking, so you may have to shoot around cars. Thanks to @theprincesstino, who made it over to the purple door.
