Property Trivia
The Crescent is positioned at the crossroads of three major area highways - 1,100 feet north of Woodall Rogers Expressway, 3,000 feet east of Dallas North Tollway, and 3,000 feet east of Stemmons Freeway.
During the construction of The Crescent, many skilled craftsmen came from England to assist with the installation of the roofs. More than 250,000 slate tiles were used to complete the project.
$6,000,000 worth of ornamental metal, with 7,700 linear feet of handrail, at the time of installation was the largest use in the world.
The Crescent has been used for numerous film and television locations.
Original artwork, including sculptures, columns, and benches in three lobbies, were commissioned for The Crescent. Artists include Paolo Borghi, Massimo Pulini, Alberto Abate, Carlo Mariani, Louis D’Achille, Brad Goldberg, and Howard Ben Tre.
