Is everybody tired of the Houston Street Viaduct? This’ll be the last one for awhile. Notice The Republic National Bank Building’s spire is now the tallest thing in the skyline, and advertising has finally crept into the scene via the Seagram’s 7 billboard.

I found a series of postcard views of the Oak Cliff Viaduct. Here’s one from the 1940s. I guess the city lights are reflecting brightly on the Trinity, although I really think it’s someone’s flight of fancy. Maybe they were wishing for a town lake.
