No historical landmark designation for the family home of a cop-killer.
Clyde Barrow's childhood home was reduced to rubble, despite West Dallas residents' attempts to have it protected with a historic designation.Last week, a property formerly owned by the family of outlaw Clyde Barrow was demolished. The plan to tear it down began in 2020 and when it was done, the Barrow filling station in West Dallas was reduced to rubble and the remains were taken to the landfill.
None of this, including the 13 murders Bonnie and Clyde were accused of, is history that should be celebrated, according to Brent Jackson, the current owner of the property. Jackson is the founder and president of the real estate development company Oaxaca Interests. He didn't respond to multiple requests for comment.
Debbie Solis, a community activist and lifelong West Dallas resident, also spoke to the Landmark Commission in support of the designation in 2020. After it was demolished last week, Solis told theit didn't matter if the property had a negative historical context. To her, it should have still been protected. “History is history,” Solis said. “People go all over the world to see things of interest to them.
He commended his Landmark Commissioner for"having the bravery to start that designation.” He said, “This site has a positive and negative historical context, as it was affiliated to the infamousHe said the Landmark Commission began the designation process in early March 2020, in opposition to the property owner’s wishes. The designation process has to be finished in a two-year period. That two years ran out just a couple of weeks ago.
He then took aim at the developer, saying Brent Jackson uses a separate company, named WillieJaxon V, LLC, as an alias to purchase properties across West Dallas and South Dallas. Jackson is named as an agent and director of WillieJaxon, which shares the same mailing address as his other company, Oaxaca Interests.
“Together we are one Dallas and when one person decides to take away our history and put it upon themselves to determine what should stay and what should not stay is a travesty.”
