THE RESURRECTION OF THE BELMONT

Those of us who live in North Oak Cliff have been closely following this project. The Belmont was a long neglected motel that sat at the corner of Fort Worth and Sylvan Avenues. It was designed by renowned architect Charles Dilbeck in 1947 and boasts grand views of Downtown Dallas. Many of us in the OC see the Belmont as a key element to the revitalization of Fort Worth Avenue — a major thoroughfare that skirts along the edges of West Dallas and North Oak Cliff. The area is rough. But the newly redone Belmont is a beauty. Very hip. Very mod. Dilbeck would approve. A restaurant and townhouses are soon to follow.
