Dallas' A. Harris-Oak Cliff Center


This sign stood at the entrance into the east parking area of OAK CLIFF CENTER. The complex, which opened in February 1956, was Dallas' first mall-type shopping complex.


The mall was built by -and for- A. Harris & Company, of Dallas. With the completion of the OAK CLIFF CENTER store, the chain had two locations.
