1950s
The end of World War II ushered in a long period of national prosperity, and Longview thrived thanks to the East Texas Oil Field and associated natural gas. Construction in Longview during the 1950s rivaled or exceeded that of the 1930s. Major products included a 10-story bank building, new sanctuaries for First Baptist and First Methodist Churches, the Petroleum Building, Jaycee Exhibit building at the Gregg County Fairgrounds, a new high school auditorium and several new school campuses. Major residential subdivisions of the 1950s included Forest Park and Brookwood.| HM Number | HM1ODL |
