In 1936, Sena Mounts Wright drew this map based on drawings by a local surveyor, In celebration of the new Denton City-County Public Library, a mural was commissioned by the Parent-Teacher Association for the library's opening in 1949. The mural was painted directly onto the wall behind the front desk by Mrs. Irene Grady. She added a border to each side of the map depicting the old cattle brands of Denton County. The library grew, and an expansion was planned in 1968. However, it was deemed too cost-prohibitive to move the mural, so it was torn down. Miss Tommye Noel repainted and framed the mural, giving it to the library and donating it in memory of Otis Fowler, Mrs. Fowler's husband. The painting has lived in various parts of the library, but currently resides over the fireplace.

He commissioned Beaumont Mood to make pottery lamps, planters, and urns for each building. Beaumont and his wife, Betty, made the light fixtures for the library. The 1981 expansion to the Emily Fowler Library added a split-level floor and a breezeway to the front of the building. In addition to more Beaumont Mood pottery lamps, Ford approached another San Antonio artisan, Charlene de Jori to make exterior lighting for the front of the building.  Subject The topic of the resource Denton (Tex.) - Libraries - History Public Libraries - Texas - Denton O'Neil Ford Beaumont Mood Betty Mood Southwestern Art ceramicists pottery lights architects Mid-Century Modern Charlene de Jori Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Denton Public Library Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All rights reserved.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mood, Beaumont Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1968 - 2022 Title A name given to the resource Glazed hanging pendant lamp Description An account of the resource Terracotta pendant lamp with a reddish glaze and bands with various patterns such as fluted lines, seamless ovals, and an atomic starburst. The holes were hand-pierced using a dowel. Measures 24 3/4" x 10 1/2". It was fashioned by the Beaumont Mood Lighting Co. in San Antonio, Texas, for the Municipal Complex around 1968. This lamp was one of three that hung in front of the windows at the east end of the Emily Fowler Library. We presume that the other two were broken and replaced by four others that were made by the same company.
