LOVE FIELD ORIGINAL ENTRANCE SIGN, 1958

Location: West Mockingbird Lane & Denton Drive

Description: Previously tucked away while improvements were being made to the airport and Herb Kelleher Way, the original entrance sign, one of several iconic fixtures associated with Love Field, was restored to the corner of Mockingbird Lane and Denton Drive. The unveiling occured on April 1, 2013 to coincide with the opening of the first 11 of 20 new gates under the Love Field Modernization Program.

"The Love Field airport that so many people remember opened in 1958, when air travel was new and exciting. Many of the mid-century modern fixtures at Love Field are part of the original airport design, so the return of the already familiar sign will bring back fond memories of Dallas Love Field for many people.” - Kay Kallos, City of Dallas Public Art Manager
