Building 98 is a historic structure on the former Fort D. A. Russell base that now serves as a hub for artists. Originally a barracks, the building was transformed into studio spaces and galleries where visitors can watch artists at work and view contemporary exhibitions. The building's military past is still evident in its architecture, offering a unique blend of history and modern creativity. It's a key stop for understanding Marfa's transformation into an art destination.
