Dallas
The pergola was a central feature of the park dedicated to Elizabeth Kiest, wife of Dallas Times Herald publisher Edwin Kiest. Constructed as a Works Progress Administration project in 1934, it had deteriorated by the 1980'sto the point that only the paving remained. Local neighbors with memory of the Pergola worked with the City of Dallas to have the pergola rebuilt.
Using historic photos and design drawings, Norman Alston Architects guided the design efforts to faithfully reconstruct the Pergola.
