Episode Details

Dallas City Council faces a historic decision: relocate City Hall, a landmark designed by I.M. Pei—the only government building he ever created. The architect’s children passionately defend the structure, calling it a symbol of hope born from grief after JFK’s assassination and insisting it’s more than just brick and mortar—it’s a civic icon. With repair costs soaring past half a billion dollars and council members rejecting the fix, Mayor Eric Johnson pushes for relocation, calling the current building “dilapidated.” But the Pei family warns that erasing this architectural masterpiece would be a profound disrespect to history—and legal challenges loom as the city teeters on a decision that could reshape Dallas’s skyline and soul.
