Title

1950s - Interior of City Hall Council Chambers

Description

Interior of the Burbank City Council Chamber featuring the “Four Freedoms” mural by artist Hugo Ballin on the wall behind the council seats. Measuring 11 by 12 feet, the mural was inspired by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s 1941 State of the Union Speech, in which he proposed four freedoms that everyone should enjoy: Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from want, and freedom from fear. A 1978 renovation of the chambers removed the wooden pew seating, replacing it with padded theater-style seats, and removal of the tile floor and the laying down of carpet.
