Notes about Herman J Hirsch

The Town of Dallas, Texas, Destroyed by FireLoss $300,000
New York Herald, 22 July 1860.
On Sunday, July 6 at about half-past eight oclock, the citizens of Dallas, Dallas country, Texas were startled with the terrible cry of fire. The flames had broken out in front of Pecks new drug store, which almost immediately enveloped the whole house. It was a two story frame and filled with stores of all kinds. The fire then spread to Smiths warehouse, then to the Heralds office from which nothing but the books could be removed. The Herald office was a total lossfour presses, Material [hardware] of every kind, clothing, in fact everything.
The St. Nicholas Hotel, a large three story frame building 100 feet front by 100 back is totally demolished. Smith & Murphys brick store burned. Shireks new warehouse and store, with entire stock of goods; the Post Office and the mail R, Hirshs huge storehouse, with entire lot of goods, Carrs new frame building, insured. R
It was impossible to compute the exact loss, which will in all probability exceed $300,000. All are homeless and hopeless now, and it was indeed a rude awakening from last Sundays afternoon siesta the citizens of Dallas experienced. Many barely escaped with their lives, and clothing they happened to have on at the time.
The following is a list of the buildings and stores burnt out:--
Dallas Hotel, three story brick, owned and occupied by Mrs, Crockrell.
Brick store of Smith and Murphy, with their stock of goods; goods partly saved. R.
Warehouse and stock of goods, owned by A. Shirek, total loss.
Upper story of the same building, occupied by J.W.Swindels Dallas Herald office; total loss. R.
The Court House in the centre of the square, a fine brick building was saved by the superhuman exertions of a few spirited individuals.
Over A. Shireks store was also the law office of E.C.McKenzie and Dr. C.P. Meyer, editor of the Herald--contents all lost.
Over H. Hershs store was the office of Dr. M.C. Scott, whose library was totally lost.
Total lost is estimated variously at from three to five hundred thousand dollars, on which there will not exceed $10,000 insurance. The whole number of buildings destroyed is 32 or 33, comprising the best built part of the place, and including every storehouse in it.
=============
uIn 1875, Hirsch, L is listed as a merchant at 4 South Lamarwhich I think should put it on the southwest corner of Lamar at Pacific, but I am not positive on that.
uIn 1878, Leopold Hirsch is listed as a member of Silberstein and Hirsch, with a residence at the southeast corner of Poydras and Commerce. Asher Silberstein is also listed with a residence at the southeast corner of Poydras and Commerce. The firm of Silberstein and Hirsch is a livery and sale stable at the southwest corner of Main and Poydras. There is a building at that location shown on the 1872 Brosius, but it would be hard to confirm the tenants or its construction date.
uIn 1880, Leopold Hirsch is still shown of Silberstein and Hirsch, and he is shown as a boarder at the merchants Hotel, which was on Pacific Avenue. Asher Silberstein is also shown as a boarder at the merchants Hotel. The firm of Silberstein and Hirsch is listed as feed and sale stable on the south side of Main between Broadway and Houston.
uThe 1881 directory matches the 1880, except the firm is listed as Hirsch and Silverstein.
u1883 lists Leopold Hirsch as a boarder of J. H. Frank and as a horse and mule dealer. Joseph H. Frank operated a boarding house at 297 Carter, between Ross Avenue and Hord Street. No business address is given. Asher Silberstein is also a boarder of J. H. Frank, but he is listed as a sale stable at 103 North Lamar.
u1884 lists Leopold Hirsch as L. Hirsch & Co. with a residence at the northwest corner of Lamar and Ross. L. Hirsch & Co. is also at that same address, as horses, mules, stables. This building is shown on the 1885 Sanborn Fire Insurance Map.
u1886 lists Leopold Hirsch with a residence on the west side of Ervay, between Young and Wood Streets. There is no business listing for L. Hirsch & Co.
u1888 and 1889 lists Leopold Hirsch as a horse dealer, with a residence at 814 Ervay, between Young and Wood.
u1891 lists Leopold Hirsch as a stock dealer who boards with F. Munzesheimer. Frederick Munzesheimer lived at 166 Crutchfield.
u1893 lists Leopold Hirsch as a stockman who lives at 171 South Ervay. The 1892 Sanborn map and 1899 Sanborn Map shows a two-story residence at this address with a large barn;stable to the rear.
u1894, 1896, 1897, and 1898 lists Leopold Hirsch as a dealer in horses and mules at the same 171 South Ervay.

u1903 lists him at the same business address, but a residence at 196 St. Louis.
u1904-1910 lists his business address at 156-160 Camp, and his residence is back at 476 S. Akard.
uIn 1911-1918 he is listed with a business address of 1203 Camp and a residence at 1500 S. AkardI think both of these are the result of the streets being renumbered. The 1914-1918 directories states that this is the oldest stock dealer in Dallas, established in 1873.
uThe 1919 directory says Leopold Hirsch died June 25, 1918, though his headstone says June 24, 1918. Burried Emanu-El, Dallas. b. 15 oct 1855. Kids Delano Hirsch Levi 1888-1985; Fred L Hirsch 1893-1970. Wife emma Munzesheimer 1863-1936.
