Deep Ellum in Green Baby Onesie

Deep Ellum, a Dallas Landmark District, is located just east of the skyscrapers of downtown Dallas and is one of the most historically significant neighborhoods in the city. The district has the city's largest collection of commercial storefronts from the early 20th century.

In 1888 Robert Munger built his 1st cotten gin factory along Elm Street. The business grew to be the largest manufacturer of cotten-processing equipment in the U.S.A.

In 1914 Henry Ford sellected Deep Ellum as the site for one of his earliest automobile plants which was an assembly plant for the Model T. The plant remained there until the mid 1930's when Adam Hats moved in.

The Music scene was Deep Ellums real claim to fame becoming a hotbed for early Jazz & Blues musicians. From 1920 to 1950 the number of nightclubs, cafes and domino parlors in Deep Ellum jumped from 12 to 20.

The district is now a diverse, urban walking neighborhood - organically grown, not master planned....
