Dallas, Texas: Big British Bowler Hat in Empty Lot
Artist Keith Turman created a 20-foot-wide bowler for a British furniture store, but the plan to perch it on the corner of the building didn't comply with Dallas display codes. So the two-ton hat wound up in a grassy vacant lot angled on a giant coat rack.- Address:
- Griffin St. E., Dallas, TX
- Directions:
- South edge of downtown, in a grassy vacant lot. On the west side of Griffin St. E. between Browder and S. Ervay Sts. As you drive north on Griffin (it's one-way) and cross Browder, you'll see a low brick building on the left; the hat is in the grassy lot just beyond it.
