Dallas' old city hall, a neoclassical beaux-arts gem. The building is currently unoccupied. This is a shot of the building from a park that is currently being built / installed. Across from that park is the Mercantile Tower complex... aka hundreds of new condo units.



And Dallas' new city hall, a daring structure built by IM Pei. It sits on a large '70's style plaza on the south end of downtown. I don't care what you all say, I like it. It has juevos. When I was a wee lad, I thought the large round columns were elevators, and criminals were sent down the elevators to the jail below. No, there is no jail in the basement.



The Dallas Public Library sits to the north of the plaza and leans away from City Hall...



Dallas City Hall with Henry Moore sculpture. The large window is the mayor's office.



A famous artist's interpretation of said building...
