Some vacant lots and abandoned structures in Dallas are getting a fresh coat of paint and a story long overdue in being told.
Code compliance identified large, art-deco-style pillars that are over 100 years old and once held the Interurban Railway Bridge that connected Dallas to towns beyond. Parts of the bridge are crumbled and overgrown in a forested area within the neighborhood. The pillars stand tall along Clarendon Drive – a remnant of a distant past.
"The last side of the pillars will be focusing on what the pillars used to be – so that would focus on the railway and the company that built it, which is also one of the largest projects that was built by African Americans,” said Aguirre. “So seeing a big construction like this that focuses on that history as well I think is important.""We want something that's reflective of the history of the neighborhood," said Ivery.
