North Bishop Avenue Commercial Historic District is located in Dallas, Texas (USA).
History
The North Bishop Avenue Commercial Historic District is bounded by Davis St to the north, Madison Ave to the east, 9th St to the south, and Adams St to the west. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 17, 1994 as a part of the "Oak Cliff Multiple Property Submission". The district contains the original core of the Bishop Arts District.
North Bishop Avenue is the only street in the Oak Cliff neighborhood that can be considered a boulevard. The district is located within the Hillside Addition, one of several sub–divisions built by the Dallas Land and Loan Company which was headed by Thomas Marsalis, the founder of Oak Cliff.
Today
Bike lanes and period lighting have been added to Bishop Avenue and recent development has been historically appropriate and scaled to fit the historical neighborhood. Tax incentives may be available to neighborhoods listed on the National Register but there is no legal protection from destruction, there are no local laws that provide such protection for the North Bishop Avenue Commercial Historic District.
