The Story
Trace the rustic roots and regal rafters of Preston Hollowâs past for a fascinating profile of this distinctive Dallas neighborhood.
It takes only a brief drive past the stately homes that line Preston Hollowâs winding tree-lined streets to understand the neighborhoodâs appeal. Glimpse the rich farmland that stunned Ira DeLoache on his fortuitous 1922 flight over the countryside. Revisit the early days of the pre-annexation town, when citizens relied on septic tanks and a volunteer fire department. Stop by institutions like Lobelloâs Bar-B-Que or the Northwest Hi-Way Drive-In Theatre and attend Preston Hollow Presbyterian Churchâs first service. From the architectural legacy of Charles Dilbeck to the destructive path left by the 2019 tornado, author Jack Walker Drake relates the heritage of a premier Dallas neighborhood.
