Valued at $1,500,000, the 9-acre tract includes a 100,000 square foot building area which will include a Tom Thumb Super Market, Skillerns Drug Store and other stores and offices.
The caption for the very top image, showing the planned expansion:Ĭonstruction of Casa View Village, a new shopping center at the intersection of Gus Thomasson and Ferguson Roads east of White Rock Lake, is scheduled to begin June 1, it has been announced by Avery Mays, Dallas real estate developer. Smith, president of the company, said the property was purchased from Clark and Smith, General Contractors. The center, located on Gus Thomasson and Ferguson Roads in the northeast section of Dallas, is virtually completed except for final finishing on the two-story office building which will house the insurance company. The $2,500,000 Casa View Hills Shopping Center has been acquired by the Lone Star Life Insurance Company for its home office property and general headquarters. In 1955, the center was bought by new owners who changed the name to Casa View Village and immediately began the second phase of construction (seen above), which expanded the center across Gus Thomasson (…I think).īuilt as Casa View Hills (1953), w/ new 2-story addition (1955)Ĭaption of the drawing immediately above: The original shopping center was called, somewhat whimsically, Casa View Hills, which opened in 1953 (the drawing seen below).
I wrote about the rather confusing history of the shopping center in Casa View at Gus Thomasson and Ferguson in the post “Shopping at Sears in Casa View” - so this is something of a companion, showing architectural drawings (mostly parking spaces, but, still…).
