400 Bishop Avenue

                         400 North Bishop, now home to Vera Cruz, was the Goodier Cosmetics Company which produce over 300 different cosmetics like the after-shaves Breezo and Pompadour. Goodier produced cosmetics for Mary Kay and eventually became a part of Mary Kay.

                         Where Decanter is located, was the original home of what eventually became the Oak Cliff Chamber of Commerce, a group started by Martin Weiss. There were many civic meetings in this spot over the years. Lots of events happened here such as miniature garden exhibits, plant swaps, pie sales, and a Robert Browning poetry club. In 1927, aviation cadets learned how to build their own planes here. In '34 there was a meeting there to discuss how to deal with Clyde Barrow, now dubbed, the “super criminal.”
