Fountain in front of the library.
Description
An account of the resource
Four-ton all-metal sculpture, salvaged from the remains of the old Kimbell Flour Mill, Trinity Industries, and Harpool's Seed Cleaning Plant, all businesses from Denton, Texas. The metal had sat in a "junk" pile behind Harpool Seed's grain elevator and was donated by Tom Harpool.
Completed in 1980, the work was commissioned by Arnold Austad for the library at a cost of $5,000; it took him two months to complete.
The two large metal basins were used to circulate water for the fountain. Some controversy took place after the Austad painted the fountain with red oxide to prevent rust first. The public had expected it to be forest green and some were disappointed by the color. Later it would be painted black.
The fountain was disconnected around 2008 due to vandalism and turned into a planter. Plans to preserve and reconnect it began in 2022.

Lynn Ford chip carvings on display at Emily Fowler Library
Description
An account of the resource
These five 4x8-foot panels of chip carvings by Lynn Ford were installed in the Emily Fowler Central Library during the 1981 renovation. They were created as a memorial to Lynn, who died in 1978, by his sister, Authella Ford Hersh, and her husband, Roland B. Hersh, using carvings found in his workshop. The Hershes laid out the design on their living room floor, even including some pieces with mistakes to show how he worked.
According to an Oct. 2, 1981, article in the Denton Record-Chronicle, some of the pieces are templates, while others are designs that served as molds for hammered brass or lead. The design was then transferred to the five panels, which Gregory and Michael Novinski had prepared and covered in dark brown suede.
The panels have been on display on the upper level of the library for 45 years.

Description
An account of the resource
The Emily Fowler Central Library currently has five chip carvings by Lynn Ford. The pieces were arranged by his niece, Linda Ford Winans, and mounted on suede-covered boards by brothers Greg and Mike Novinski.
The Civic Center building has three sets of front doors made by artist Lynn Ford.
City Hall has two sets of Lynn Ford doors: one set that was originally located on the east entrance is now on display in the east hall. The other set is the u-bend of the building. There are also ten brass and tin lamps crafted by Lynn and Rodolfo Cabral outside of the city council chambers.
"Most of his [Lynn's] work is all about elemental composition using the three basic geometric forms, the circle, the triangle, and the square." ~Lynn Ford: Texas Artist and Craftsman, by Mary Lance.

An account of the resource
Panel of carvings by the late Lynn Ford, brother of the architect O'Neil Ford, who designed the library.
From "Library's architecture, art a family affair," 10/02/1981, Denton Record-Chronicle:
Authella Ford Hersh, their sister, and her husband, Roland B. Hersh, made the panels using carvings from Lynn's workshop in San Antonio. The wall will serve somewhat as a memorial for him, his sister said.
Two Irving men, Gregory and Michael Novinski, sons of Lyle Novinski who teaches at the University of Dallas, prepared five panels 4-by-8 of plywood and covered them with brown suede.
Some are templates, designs which serve as "molds" for hammered brass or lead.

Description
An account of the resource
Two tall cylindrical vessels with geometric patterns in reddish, blue, and brown, made by Beaumont Mood. They reside in a cabinet at the Emily Fowler Central Library. The containers were commissioned by O'Neil Ford as part of the 1968 renovation of the library. Beaumont Mood was the owner of the Beaumont Mood Lighting Company in San Antonio, Texas.
From 1969 until the early 1980s, customers were allowed to smoke in the library and this was originally used as an ashtray in the building.
Their condition: dark marks, smudges, and some small chipping on the top band. Property stickers are on the lowest band of each.

Description
An account of the resource
During the 1968 expansion of the Emily Fowler Library, O'Neil Ford designed and commissioned a concrete lattice built on the south side of the library to enclose a courtyard built for children only. A pergola and hanging pottery lamps, a brick courtyard with a fountain, and sculptures completed the picture. The lattice remained until the 2002 renovation of the library and was then removed.
For the 1981 expansion, the front entrance of the library was shifted and a covered breezeway was added with a matching concrete lattice that shielded the front staff windows and garden while allowing both air and light to filter through.
It was suggested that based on the extrusion lines on the back of the tiles, they were manufactured, although we do not know who made them. It was also suggested that because the tiles do not align perfectly that they were pieced together by hand and that O'Neil Ford would probably have used local Hispanic craftsmen who knew this style of work.
The lattice was painted in 2008.
