An account of the resource
<p>In the mid-to-late 1960s, the Denton Municipal Complex was designed by Texas architect O'Neil Ford. 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.</p>
<p>The 1981 expansion to the Emily Fowler Library added a split-level floor and a breezeway to the front of the building.<br /><br />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. <br /><br /><br /></p>

Title
A name given to the resource
Four Lynn Ford/R. Cabral light fixtures at Denton City Hall.
Description
An account of the resource
These four brass and tin light fixtures are located in an alcove off the east-most inner wing of Denton City Hall. A vertical platform lift, which was later installed, impedes the viewer from getting too close to three of them. The photo was taken from the inside courtyard.
They were commissioned by O'Neil Ford and made by Lynn Ford & Roberto Cabral using brass and tin.

Title
A name given to the resource
Brass and tin lamps near the City Council Chambers in Denton, Texas.
Date
A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource
1966-2022
Description
An account of the resource
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.
