Eva Jones

Eva Jones is leading an effort to have the City of Dallas designate her Queen City neighborhood as a historical district, which would help preserve the area's history and stabilize property values, though it could also make it more difficult for current homeowners to repair or sell their homes.

Queen City, a nationally recognized African-American community in South Dallas, is being considered for a historic district overlay to preserve its late 19th and early 20th century American architectural styles.
