1947 2006 eng A view of part of the business district in Texas City before the 1947 Texas City Disaster. Cars are parked along both sides of the street and are driving down the roads of a four-way intersection. Stores and businesses line the right side of the streets. On the left side a large flag pole stands near the corner. Down the left side of the street, a two-story building can be seen. People are walking or standing along the sidewalks in front of the stores. A bus is pulled up near one corner of the intersection. On the far right, the two nearest businesses have signs which read "Clar[r?]'s Liquor Store" and "Lucas Cafe." Further down the street are signs reading "Plaza Hotel" and "Nusbaum's." 1 photographic print : b&w ; 5 x 7 in.

Bus at far right edge in photo, on side street, belongs to Texas Bus Lines. Lucus Cafe was then the ticket office for TBL. Store next to and beyond the liquor store is Cameron's Five and Dime. Tallest building behind flag pole is Mainland Realty building." Another online viewer commented: "Taken from in front of City Hall at 6th St and 6th Ave North. Lucus Cafe across the street was also the bus stop for Texas Bus Lines." digitalObjectCreator: Marcelina Spencer digitalObjectCreatorEmail: MarcyChini@hotmail.com creationAppName: Adobe Photoshop creationAppVersion: 7 creationHardware: UMAX Powerlook 2100 XL 13828240 ark:/67531/metapth11841 meta-pth-11841 meta-pcc-1144860484MPhillips_nt104055_unt_edu bwatson 2006-04-12, 23:49:26 Highland 2008-05-08, 15:07:00 PTH /data/SUM2006/MMPL/box2
