Summary: A series of photographs taken by donor of "shotgun" houses taken on Delores (spelled Dolores on some old maps) Street, South side. They lined the block and are thought to have been built from 1900-1920. Most "shotgun" houses are one room wide and have only a couple of rooms. They were usually lived in by African Americans in the South.  All photographs in this collection are color photos, five by three inches. They were taken on July 2, 1984. Neighborhood is northeast of downtown Fort Worth, south of Cold Springs Road and slightly north of Pioneer Rest Cemetery.
