VIEWS AT NEW DAL-OAK GOLF COURSE SITE
::
(Frorn Dallas Morning News Archives, dated 23 September, 1923.)
The newspaper article read Views at DalOak Golf Course" and the drawing of this house
appeared in the September 23,1923 issue of the Dallas Morning News, the same day the land was
formally leased to the people who were to build the golf course. Was this a drawing of the house
already on the golf course site, as stated in the headline over the drawing, or was it a conceptual
sketch of the proposed clubhouse? As the article below the drawing stated, ground was broken and
construction begun in November, 1924, a year later, on the Dal-Qak Club House. My feeling is that
plans for the club house had changed, possibly more than once, between this first article and the
construction. If it is the drawing of the building to be built, then it has to be on the remains of the
farm house with the new clubhouse built on the rock foundation. However, it does not show the wide
verandas and doesn't look large enough to cover the description ofthe new club house. Later we find
information regarding the "remains of the house built by the French settlers" that St. Paul's
Hospital, which had acquired the land in 1909, was trying to have preserved. F. D.
Dallas Morning News 23 August 1925
This is the Dal-Oak Club house as it appeared in the 23
August 1925 edition of the Dallas Morning News. It
appears considerably larger than the sketch of the
proposed building in 1923, and does have a wide veranda.
