Dilbeck Birthday Party

Around 60 Dilbeck afficionados gathered at El Ranchito to celebrate the architect’s birthday and to share experiences with his architecture. The Dilbeck Conservancy hosted this party, the second birthday celebration and its official annual meeting, with food and margaritas in a festive atmosphere created both by Dilbeck himself and party planner Margaret Ryder of Kane and Company. El Ranchito was chosen as the location for obvious reasons and to support the owner’s efforts to designated this property as a City of Dallas Landmark. El Ranchito was designed by Dilbeck in 1947 as the Red Bryan Smokehouse restaurant and is one of many restaurants designed by the architect but very few survive.
