A busy commercial block in Dallas, Texas, around 1920, is the focus here, with automobiles parked and moving along the street among the storefronts and pedestrians. By that decade the automobile was rapidly reshaping American downtowns, and Dallas, a major regional trading center fed by cotton, railroads and oil money, was growing quickly. Scenes like this one capture the moment when horse-drawn traffic gave way to motor vehicles, changing how people shopped, walked and crossed the street. The photograph is a useful record of everyday urban life in a Texas city during the early twentieth century.
