George W. Bush Presidential Center...


DALLAS – The George W. Bush Presidential Center will tip its hat to the former president's home state, from the Texas limestone and pecan wood paneling inside the complex to the wildflowers, bluebonnets and prairie land outside.

"I applaud the work … in designing a building and landscape that will capture the dignity of the office of the presidency, while at the same time being warm and welcoming to visitors," former President Bush said. "Laura and I were thrilled with the plans."

Former first lady Laura Bush presided over both the design process and the first public presentation of the plans for the complex Wednesday on the Southern Methodist University campus.

"I know we can't please everyone, but I think this almost does," Laura Bush said.
