Ancient History

This is a link to the 1880-1920 Murphy and Bolanz maps on the Dallas Public Library Website. You have to download a plug in to view them, but they are great fun. I have found the map of our neighborhood from Beeman West to East Grand which shows the streets taken out by I-30 (Roscoe, Oleander and East Pike). This neighborhood was called Park View Place [link below].

Still trying to find the map from Beeman heading East (Owenwood). Though it may not have been platted by 1920 or Murphy and Bolanz didn't do it. Several searches using the streets yield nothing. Several of the houses on my block supposedly date from 1925.

Enjoy!
