The Trammell Crow Center totals 1.2 million square feet of space on 50 floors. The postmodern skyscraper, completed in 1984, has a façade of polished and flamed granite. Surrounding the building is a publicly accessible sculpture garden featuring 22 bronze sculptures by Maillol, Rodin, Wlerick, Buxin, and

Bourdelle. The earliest work dates to 1889. In 1998, the Flora Street side of the building was remodeled to accommodate the Trammell and Margaret Crow Collection of Asian Art. The Crow Collection is dedicated to the art of China, Japan, India, and Southeast Asia. The collection includes over 600 paintings, objects of metal and stone, as well as large architectural pieces. Admission to the museum is free.
