From a Press Release by the City of Fort Worth:
Who/What:
The Charles Tandy sculpture, which was removed from downtown’s Paddock Park earlier this month, was reinstalled at its new permanent home on the TCU campus.

Where:
Grounds of Charles Tandy Hall at TCU, 2900 Lubbock St.
Why:
The relocation was endorsed by the Fort Worth Art Commission and approved by the Fort Worth City Council after Downtown Fort Worth Initiatives, Inc. recommended moving the city-owned sculpture to a smaller-scale, pedestrian-friendly site that offers historic context.
As part of a long-term agreement with TCU, the city will maintain ownership of the artwork and supervise ongoing maintenance through its public art program. The relocation of the sculpture is being funded with a grant from the Burnett Foundation.
The sculpture will be located at the entrance to Charles Tandy Hall, dedicated March 1989 as part of the Neeley School of Business at TCU. The late Charles D. Tandy (TCU ’40) was known as an entrepreneur with immense energy who laid the foundation for one of the country’s best-known electronics and computer manufacturers.
