City Hall

Save City Hall

City of Dallas leaders are considering a proposal to abandon City Hall and its public plaza, which will inevitably lead to its demolition. Demolishing this architectural icon would be an irreversible loss for our city, erasing a landmark recognized worldwide for its form, engineering, and vision. City Hall is not just a building, it represents our shared history, our commitment to progress, ambition for excellence, and our reputation as a world class city.

Should be a good one.

Bummer I am in Italia 🇮🇹 and I am going to miss this!!!! The Origami ❤️

Let's go. Fly or drive?

I used to live down the block from the Bianchi House for all those years that it was in disrepair, and have been so glad to see the restoration going on!

💚💚💚

We are so thankful for all of the thoughtful giving and we can't lie - it made us feel a little emotional this morning 🥹

Thank you to all who have given and all who are giving today to help us continue to make sure that #Dallas is a community that values architecture, history, and culture. ❤️ We truly cannot do it without you.

THANK YOU!
