A photo of Brook Hollow Country Club from a 1940s guide for newcomers. This photo is from a page of the area’s country clubs. This looks positively quaint.

From an early edition of “So This Is Dallas,” a guide for new residents of Dallas — this edition is from the early ’40s. Thanks to the Lone Star Library Annex Facebook group for loan of the image.

The Brook Hollow Golf Club is a bit swankier these days. The official site is here.

Was the land for the golf club bought from the family that lived at what is now 2219 W. Amherst Ave.? It’s my house now but Mrs. Woods, who lived next door when we first moved in, told me that at one time my house was the only house from me to the elementary school Obadiah Knight.
