Aerial View of the Centennial Fairgrounds — 1936
The Texas Centennial: a “World’s Fair” for Dallas
by Paula Bosse
This fantastic photo (by one of Dallas’ top aerial photographers, Lloyd M. Long) shows the impressive expanse of Fair Park’s new Art Deco splendor — most of the buildings seen here were built especially for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition, and most of those are, thankfully, still standing.
