The developments surround the stop for the Oak Cliff streetcar, which connects with downtown. Crescent’s Novel Bishop Arts development will include 302 luxury apartments and about 24,000 square feet of retail space on the northeast corner of Zang and Davis. Rather than build a single, large Uptown-style apartment block, Crescent’s development is broken up into two buildings and a variety of exterior designs along Zang and Beckley Avenue. Along with Crescent’s projects, developers have started work nearby on a multi-block redevelopment at Bishop Avenue and Melba Street. 3 LAKE CLIFF Lake Cliff is a neighborhood in the northern part of the Oak Cliff area of Dallas. It surrounds Lake Cliff, a small freshwater lake. In the Lake Cliff area is Lake Cliff Park, a 44.5 acre community park established in 1914. The park is situated around the lake and features a rose garden, strolling paths, ball fields and tennis courts. Bounded by bald cypress, eastern red cedar, pecans, and cottonwoods, the lake reflects the downtown Dallas skyline to the northeast. The park’s northwest entrance, marked by the pergola, encloses the multi-tiered rose garden. Its sandy yellow and burnt orange stonework references the native Texas color palette. Lake Cliff is home to an elegant park and lake, beautiful historic homes, and just a short distance from the Bishop Arts District and the wide array of amenities downtown Dallas has to offer. The close proximity to popular areas of the city makes Lake Cliff an ideal place to live. OAK CLIFF DECK PARK “Southern Gateway” project is a massive $666 million reconstruction of a large section of Interstate 35E and State Highway 67 near downtown through Oak Cliff. One of the parts of the project includes the Oak Cliff Deck Park. The park will be above I-35E between Marsalis and Ewing Avenues, which would connect the Dallas Zoo to Zang Boulevard possibly bringing the area together.

  • Lake Cliff Tower Lake Cliff Tower, Originally Named Cliff Towers, Is A
    Lake Cliff Tower Lake Cliff Tower, originally named Cliff Towers, is a twelve story landmark recently brought out of moth balls and converted into luxury condominiums. On Colorado Boulevard overlooking Lake Cliff Park, the building is an icon at the gateway to Oak Cliff. Opened in 1932 as a hotel and luxury apartments, it became senior housing in the 1950’s, a nursing home in the ‘60’s, and closed in 2000 when the owner could not afford repairs and code compliance. Evergreen Realty Partners, the developer, took advantage of $4.1 million in tax increment financing from the City of Dallas and began redevelopment in 2004. The results are a beautifully resurrected masterpiece with restored plastered lobby, theater room, billiards area, wine vault with private lockers, swimming pool, outdoor deck with fire pit, and 54 hip and swanky condominiums from 895 square feet to 2,000 square feet. Lake Cliff was created in 1888 a social club known as the club known as the Llewellyn Club. The Club excavated the lake on the south side of the street car line that ran along Colorado Boulevard from downtown Dallas. In 1906 Charles Mangold and John F. Zang bought the land around Lake Cliff, and built an amusement park. In 1909 Charles Mangold and his wife, Anna, purchased five acres of wooded land on a hill on the north side of Colorado and built their dream home. The hill had an incredible view to the northeast over the Trinity River to downtown Dallas. The Lake Cliff Amusement Park was too expensive to operate and the land and lake were sold to the city in 1913 for a public park.

  • Where Did Thomas L. Marsalis Go? By: Jim Barnes, Architect and Sharon Marsalis 1St March 2007
    Where Did Thomas L. Marsalis Go? By: Jim Barnes, architect and Sharon Marsalis 1st March 2007 Thomas L. Marsalis came to Dallas with the first railroad, in 1872. He was nineteen years old. He rapidly made a fortune in the wholesale grocery business. In 1873 Marsalis married Elizabeth Josephine (Lizzie) Crowdus, the daughter of Dr. J. W. Crowdus, one of Dallas’ wealthiest citizens and its future mayor. The couple’s three children, Allene, Laila, and Thomas, Jr., were all born in Dallas. Allene died in 1878 at age four and was buried in the Crowdus family plot at the Dallas “Pioneer Cemetery”. Thomas L. Marsalis was credited with helping to establish the Dallas fire department, initiating the pavement of streets, helping to capitalize a new newspaper, The Dallas Morning News , and acting as a Director for the Dallas State Fair in its Semi-Centennial celebration of 1886; but most of all, Marsalis is remembered today as “the Father of Oak Cliff”. His real estate development of Oak Cliff was a huge investment with its own steam railroad, water supply system, and public streets and parks. The Oak Cliff venture launched like an economic rocket but rather quickly fizzled back down to earth as a financial dud. After his demise with Oak Cliff, Thomas L. Marsalis disappears from the pages of Dallas histories. Amateur historians of the Dallas Historical Society’s internet “Message Board” have collaborated on a two and half year long research investigation into the fate of Thomas L. Marsalis. We herein offer corrections to some often repeated, but inaccurate, myths about his life.
