Joining the Century Club in 2013 are these structures:
3800 Clarke Avenue in Hi Mount. Owner Eugene Tipton worked for the United States Postal Service’s Railway Mail Service.
Former fire hall and city hall of the town of Polytechnic on Vaughn Boulevard.
2212 College Avenue.
1207 Hillcrest. Owner Joseph E. Willis was president of Fidelity Trust Company.
1215 Hillcrest got a major facelift on its centennial. Owner Joseph J. Ballard owned Ballard Ice and Fuel Company.
The picture of 1215 Hillcrest.. is it in the Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas area? If so the owner is named as Joseph J. Ballard and owned Ballard Ice and Oil Company. Is there anywhere I can find more history on this gentlemen? He may be a relative this is the closest I have found for information.
Ms. Parrish, I have e-mailed you several documents on Joseph J. Ballard.
Hi Mike. That house on Clarke street is nice, but could use some landscaping. Also,if life was fair and I had my way, the Polytechic area would get a sorely needed facelift (especially in our old nect of the woods.)
Just as I am surprised by how many people over one hundred are still living, I am surprised by how many houses over one hundred are still standing, a few of them in Poly.
