| Description | Photo shows plaster sculpture replica of original gold-leaf eagle at top of tower. The original eagle was designed by sculptor Raoul Josset and executed by Dallas artist Jose Martin, ca. 1936. This replica plaster positive was sculpted by Robert Marshall (R. Alden Marshall & Associates, Art Conservation & Gold Leaf Studio) to create the mold for the glass fiber reinforced concrete replica they produced during restoration of the tower sculpture. This eagle was used as a demo of architectural gilding at the 1999 AIA conference (Source: atlas.thc.state.tx.us/NR National Register of Historic Places inventory nomination form; and email from Reveley, S., March 2020) |
