CENTENNIAL PLAZA AND AMPHITHEATER 105 N. Main (432) 682-6234 Centennial Plaza was carefully designed to be a people oriented park. The tree-lined courtyard is also the home of a 300 seat amphitheater. A cascading water fountain and water wall provide cool, refreshing relief from the West Texas sun. The focal point of the Plaza is the 143-foot long, 4 1/2 foot tall sculptured brick wall depicting the history of Midland. Nearby, on the south Midland Center wall, you'll find a bronze plaque depicting the rescue of Jessica McClure from an abandoned water well in October 1987. CLAYDESTA ATRIUM #6 Desta Drive (432) 688-3000 This six story atrium, in the ClayDesta Center building, is a 40,000 square foot skylight masterpiece. Tropical plants, waterfalls, streams, fish and birds fill the atrium to provide a truly unique and beautiful atmosphere. SCARBOROUGH-LINEBERY HOUSE 802 S. Main (432) 685-7368 Built in 1907 for Kara and W.F. Scarborough, the house belonged to the same family for 90 years before being given to the city of Midland.

Colorado (432) 682-4111 The Yucca is a nostalgic example of flamboyant Assyrian-style architecture, featuring gilded lions, ornate columns, scrollwork and elaborate lighting fixtures.

Hendrick in 1929, the theatre was restored in 1981 and now houses the mad-cap Summer Mummers. Tours can be arranged in advance.
