Dallas City Hall

Stay on the same side of Young and cross Field and Akard Streets to get to City Hall Plaza.

The Dallas City Hall was designed by I. M. Pei and completed in 1978. The nine-story triangular building has been featured in several films, including Robocop.

An enormous three-piece sculpture called The Dallas Piece sits on the plaza in front of City Hall. Sixteen feet high and twenty-four feet wide, it was designed by Henry Moore to resemble vertebrae.
