Title
Brass and tin lamps near the City Council Chambers in Denton, Texas.
Description
Six brass and tin lamps line the wall to the Denton City Council chambers. Another four can be found in a nearby alcove that overlooks the courtyard. Of the four in the alcove, three of them are smaller and boxy-shaped.
According to architect Mike Lance, the light fixtures were designed by Canadian artist, Gene Byron, who had a shop in Marfil, México, a suburb of Guanajuato. "She had about ten workers who were proficient at turning out brass and tin fixtures, which was lucky since I needed a lot of fixtures." [Conversation with Mike Lance, 2/04/2015].
However, upon examining the lamps, the names of Lynn Ford and Rodolfo Cabral are on only one light fixture which might make it the prototype.
The building was completed in 1967.
