Architectural Bench from the Iconic I.M. Pei Dallas City Hall

About the Item

Custom architectural bench from the lobby of the I. M. Pei design Dallas City Hall. This massive bench is constructed from oak and bronze and is in excellent condition. We also have available one matching smaller bench. The idea of a new city hall for Dallas emerged in the mid-1960s, as part of a program of "Goals for Dallas" designed to restore the city's reputation after the assassination of President Kennedy. As Pei recalls, I felt that Dallas was the greatest city there was, and I could not disappoint them."
