I thought it would be interesting to see how Fort Worth looked during the time my Great-grandmother, Linnie Lough, lived there in 1907. She lived in a boarding house at 205 ½ W. Weatherford, run by Miss Eugene Carroll. This address is fairly close to where Houston Street intersects Weatherford in what is now downtown Fort Worth. There are plenty of pictures posted on the internet of this area of Fort Worth around this time.
This store would have been right down the street from where
Linnie boarded.
The Ellison Building would have been about 2 blocks from
where Linnie lived; I’m sure she would have been familiar with the Western
National Bank and the Moore Building, that were both within 10 blocks of her
boarding house.
This hospital was either next-door or very near (within a couple
of houses of) the “sanitarium” where Linnie worked in 1910.
