Project Description
Inspired by the natural beauty and rich history of Lake Como Park, this installation honors local community leader William H. Wilburn Sr. This plaza is an invitation to gather and gaze both outward and inward. At its center, a weathering steel sculpture is a literal and figurative frame for the community. The structure is engraved with excerpts from The Lake Como Weekly archives and other historically relevant documents as well as naming the editor and founder of The Lake Como Weekly William H. Wilburn Sr. and the land donor for establishing the Lake Como Park, Amon G. Carter Sr. Benches custom carved from 100-year-old white oak offer visitors a place to sit and reflect.
