[Denton Civic Center, exterior view]

Exterior view of the front of the City of Denton Civic Center. The "community center" was designed by Texas architect, O'Neil Ford. The grand opening ceremony was held on November 18, 1867, and an open house was held that Saturday and Sunday. Interestingly, the Denton Record-Chronicle referred to the building as the "Denton Mini-Dome", although the structure was not a dome, but built like a bicycle wheel with a cable-suspension roof. Beaumont Mood, of San Antonio, fashioned the ceramic pendant lamps posted at intervals along the perimeter walls and doors. He also made the globe-shaped lamps which can be seen hanging from the pergola.
