An important part of Dallas history is getting burned up.
This is one of several houses that have caught fire in recent months in Dallas' Tenth Street Historic District.Several houses have caught fire in Dallas’ Tenth Street Historic District in recent months.
Swann has become increasingly interested in the history of the freedman's town since he started fixing up a house in the neighborhood about 15 years ago. People often suggest that fires in the neighborhood might be economically motivated, he said, and that the people behind them just don’t want to deal with restrictions surrounding historic structures like the homes in Tenth Street. “That’s probably all I should say about that,” Swann said. “I’m not alleging this.”
Investigators have yet to determine the cause of the fires, Jason Evans, a DFR spokesperson, told theAround 8 p.m. on Dec. 26, DFR responded to a 911 call about a structure fire at 1414 E. Clarendon Drive. When firefighters arrived, the house was engulfed in flames. “Firefighters initiated an offensive attack on the house and had the flames extinguished within an hour after arriving on scene,” Evans said.
One neighbor said they heard a popping noise outside, and when they got up to look the house was already on fire. DFR investigators believe the fire started along the back of the house and spread upward and laterally in both directions. This damaged most of the structure and the exterior paneling of the home next door.
Evans said investigators were told that one of the residents at 1223 Boswell St. smelled smoke coming from one of the bedrooms. When they went to check on it, they found the fire. The resident tried to put out the fire but it got out of control and everyone left the house.
