Two Architectural Benches from the Iconic I.M. Pei Designed Dallas City Hall

Description
Pair of custom architectural benches from the lobby of the I. M. Pei design Dallas City Hall. These massive benches are constructed from oak and bronze and are in excellent condition. Priced individually. Single larger bench also available.

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."
