Dallas City Hall is under threat of abandonment and demolition! This process is moving very quickly and we need all advocates! On Tuesday, October 21, City of Dallas Finance Committee met to discuss proposed repairs by Dallas Staff. In the meeting, city staff shared an unconfirmed amount of repairs - much of which has been deferred over the years by the City of Dallas. Preservation Dallas strongly feels that the I.M. Pei-designed City Hall should be assessed by professionals to determine the extent of the building’s needs and the true cost associated with those repairs.
If the City of Dallas votes to abandon City Hall, the impact will be swift. Questions regarding the valuation of the property that City Hall sits on during last week’s Finance Committee confirms that abandoning the site will likely lead to its sale and demolition. We feel that in 47 years of stewardship, the City of Dallas has a responsibility to maintain the people’s building for our next generation.
