A contract transferring ownership of the art to the city was signed in March of 1909, and the gallery was formally opened and presented to the city of Dallas in April 1909.
1927 A city bond issue passed, providing $500,000 in city bonds for building and equipping a new Museum facility
1934–1935 The Depression caused the city to cut the Museum's budget to $5,500 per year. City bonds worth $500,000 were sold to build a new Museum facility in Fair Park.
1979 A city bond election was passed and Dallas voters pledged $24.8 million toward the construction of a new museum building downtown.
1984 The name was changed to the Dallas Museum of Art when the Museum moved to its new location downtown.
According to the tax records, 1717 N. Harwood is owned by the City of Dallas.
I'm also sure that the DMA Board of Trustees feels differently, even if Dallas does own the buildings. But, bottom line, any 30.06 postings they make cannot be enforced legally.

now that is funny, to me!
