It centers on Atlanta Street and the 3700 block of Dildock Street, with buildings dating from about 1915 to 1945.","why_significant":"The district is described as the most cohesive surviving grouping of early domestic and commercial buildings tied to South Dallas's historic African-American suburban community, platted between 1905 and 1929. It is significant for Ethnic Heritage, Community Planning and Development, and Architecture. Its small Craftsman-influenced wood frame bungalows with inset porches form a distinctive, cohesive streetscape.","narrative":"Queen City Heights Historic District is a dense enclave of modest frame houses in South Dallas, about two miles southeast of downtown. Built mostly between about 1915 and 1945 along Atlanta Street and the 3700 block of Dildock Street, it contains 92 buildings, 46 of them contributing. The houses are small vernacular and Craftsman-influenced bungalows, shotgun, two-room and L-plan types, with inset porches, similar massing and tight setbacks. The district grew from African-American additions platted between 1905 and 1929, including Bermuda Lawn, Rosedale, Queen City, Oak Grove and Elberta, which developed around an older community of Black farmers and workers. Other nearby historic fabric and churches have been lost or altered, leaving this area as the most cohesive surviving group. A notable landmark is the circa 1925 Hayden Store at 3737 Atlanta, a two-story brick building tied to businessman Louis Hayden. The district was recognized for its ethnic heritage, community planning and architecture.","period_of_significance":"1915-1945","architect_builder":"Unknown","architectural_style":"Late 19th and Early 20th Century American Movements: Bungalow/Craftsman; 1-part commercial block","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Most buildings are in fair condition, though several are deteriorating from lack of maintenance.
