OUR HISTORY:
The Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind is the oldest Lighthouse for the Blind in the state of Texas. It was founded in Dallas by Eva Cameron in 1931. She was blind herself, and devoted her life to encouraging and training others who were visually impaired or blind. Since the original dedication in 1976, the Dallas Lighthouse has been located at 4245 Office Parkway, near Haskell and Interstate 75, on the north side of the Downtown Metropolitan Area. The 3.5 acre complex consists of 3 buildings: The Austin G. Scott Industrial Building, The Viola Burg Building, and the Administration Building with the Schoellkopf Fountain in the courtyard.<READ MORE>
