Fisher’s Addition, West Dallas

I’ve never seen this postcard before, and I’d never heard of Fisher’s (“near Dallas”).

W. R. Fisher’s Addition was in West Dallas, possibly bordered by what is now N. Edgefield, Fort Worth Avenue, Sylvan, and West Commerce (just below the old T & P railroad tracks). …I think. Lots of real estate transactions were going on in “Fisher’s” in the 1880s and ’90s, when West Dallas was its own community and before the area became part of Dallas.

This is a very pretty postcard. I just picked a random intersection on Google to see what it looks like now. See a very attractive view at Seale and Obenchain here (Jan. 2024)…
