Preston Hollow History
Ira De-Loache bought a 56-acre farm in 1924, soon to be known as Preston Hollow. Preston Rd. was the main artery from the north side of town to Downtown Dallas. Preston Hollow eventually extended from east of Preston Road, slightly north of Walnut Hill Lane, west of Midway Road and southwest of Northwest Highway.
The developers envisioned Preston Hollow as "more than a flatland suburb on the fringes of a new and growing Dallas."Professionals including doctors, entrepreneurs, industrialists, lawyers, and oil businesspeople made Preston Hollow their home. Many of the original homes were country-style estates that housed horses and stables. One of the top all-boys college preparatory schools in the country, St. Mark's School of Texas is on Preston Rd, just south of Royal Lane.
