Downtown Dallas 1939

The Dallas Morning News’ Robert Wilonsky and Historic Preservation Officer for the City of Dallas Mark Doty introduce a 90 second clip of Downtown Dallas filmed in color in 1939, which they had bought a few months previously on eBay.

The Western end of Main Street was packed with pedestrians. It was an area of one, two and three storey buildings running busy shops and restaurants.
