- DALLAS PANORAMAS & FORT WORTH DOWNTOWN - TEXAS - 1966
Friends and family-
This 1966 home movie was filmed during a family visit to Texas. The opening segments of downtown Fort Worth include storefront signs for Leonard’s Department Store (“More merchandise for less money”), The Westbrook Hotel (demolished in 1978), Royal Credit Clothiers Inc., McCrory’s, Woolworth’s, and Fakes & Co. Furniture Store, and others. The panoramic scenes of Dallas include the Dallas Convention Center (the round building). My father was in Dallas to attend the National Council Meeting of the Boy Scouts of America. This home movie was filmed by our father, Lawrence W. Haas, and the music is by my daughter, Anna Haas.
Please share widely.

I love this. The music is wonderful. Your daughter sounds great.
That is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, and her voice is perfect - so beautiful.
Such a beautiful voice I grew up in Tarrant County.
66---69, my favorite yrs..in big D. Native Dallasite. Rare thing.
Born and raised in Fort Worth so I gotta say, this is breathtaking! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Born in Dallas in 1966. Had to take a peek.
Have lived on the edge of downtown Dallas for years and walk the city often. This was fascinating, thank you for sharing. The score from Anna works beautifully with it as well.
Absolutely amazing piece of film. Your dad knew how to pan. Thanks for the upload. It is amazing how the traffic is so light. Now it is so packed and really sad. Beautiful song.
radarloveradar thanks for the kind words
Thank you for posting.
Thank you Thank you - my father was an architect and worked on many of the buildings you showed that I have never seen at the time when he worked on them (I was born in 1964!) Thank you!
Thank you for posting this gorgeous and important video. It captures the city before it's downtown was choked by glass and steel monoliths and completely encircled by expressways. It shows parts of the city before they were cut in half by expressways. The song is lovely and it captures what the city was like then. :) PS this film appears to be entirely of Dallas. I did not see any recognizable footage of FW.
Jerry Probst it's kinda bitter Sweet. Dallas' worst mistake in it's history is the creation of the freeway system that cut between neighborhoods and downtown.
CrazyKidAndFriends right and how would today’s population move about without the freeways ?
The skyscraper at the 4:08 mark was the only skyscraper build in WWII in the U.S. The tall spike at the top told the weather by lighting up to display different colors. Blue was one type of weather, green was another, etc.
Thanks for sharing that info. All the best... David
wow way way back!!!
Great video! Wish it didn't have the music though...
0:19 i30 going into downtown 😯
I live right next to Fort Worth and i never knew it was like this once
Hi. Amazing footage! Do I have your permission to use this footage in a documentary that I'm editing that talks about Fort Worth, Texas? Many Thanks
Fergal O'Reilly I would need to know more.. Can you message me?
Kind of sad… you can see how far the trees used to spread outside of the city. If you were looking from an airplane today you wouldn’t see any of it.

What happened ?
Huge airports, Mexicans, democrats, tollways, east Texas moved in everywhere, foreigners moved in everywhere. It really used to be a great and very fun city...it's all ruined. That's what happened. 😕😢😩
Dallas was a beautiful city and community in those days. Now its dilapidated.
