Aerial over Twelfth Avenue Bridge …
The plane is over Carpenter’s Creek in this image. The road going into Pine Glade’s is a dirt road and no homes have been built yet. You see Cordova Park on the other side of the Twelfth Avenue Street Bridge and it looks as if Dunwoody coming off of 12th is a dirt road. Also, there are no houses on Bayou Texar in this view. I am not sure of the year that this photo was made … if I had to guess it would be the early 1950’s, maybe 1951 or 52. I have 10 or so aerials of Cordova Park my father made around this time to around 1961 that I plan to post in the future.
I am really enjoying the pics..thanks for allowing us to enjoy them…
Do you have any photos of the plantation that was at the end of 12th ave Tunnel OF Trees? I live right at the start of the trees on 12th and would love to see more of that area. Thanks
