Station 15 — at Davis and Bishop — was a working firehouse decades before it was converted into Gloria’s restaurant in the Bishop Arts District. Here are the “before” photos.

I wonder if the Dallas Historical photos folks are paying any royalties to the archives whose photos they are reproducing. I recognize many images that are held by the Dallas Historical Society and the Dallas Public Library.

They seem to at least be working with the DHS. See, for instance, this: http://bit.ly/1jf8IFq

doesn’t necessarily mean they are working with DHS. nor should they be applying the copyright symbol to the image. the image is in the public domain since it is before 1923.
I know that the DPL does not allow anyone to resell or copy for enlargement the images they hold.
