Construction of LEDCO - June 10, 2022

Longview Economic Development Corporation is building a new office on the site of old Longview High School.  They started dirt work this week.  

When the old high school was demolished the basement was filled with building debris and covered over with a layer of dirt which would eventually become the parking lot for the former T. G. Field Auditorium.  Excavation for the new LEDCO building has exposed broken pieces of the old Longview High School building which can be seen in the photos below.  For additional photographs please visit my Longview High School 1932 Flickr album.

Hilton Hotel

  Longview's downtown hotel was a Hilton from 1936 - 1947.  And no, it was not the second hotel in Conrad Hilton's hotel chain.  That is a legend in Longview's history and I am working on preparing a blog to explain how that legend started.
