I obtained for my collection an original copy of the October 4, 1957 Longview Lobos vs. North Dallas Official Football Program from my friend Paul Jones. Below is the entire program for the historical record.
This building was Hotel Longview from 1947 - 1960. You can see a section of the East Texas Chamber of Commerce Building to the far left and the silhouette of a section of the Bramlette Building to the far right. Click here for more pictures of the downtown hotel on Jimmy's Flicker Albums.
The historical marker and the area of the former Mary C Womack High School in Longview, Texas on May 21, 2022. For full size resolution and additional pictures click here to access my Mary C Womack album.
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. Click here for more pictures of the downtown hotel on Jimmy's Flicker Albums.
