Nathan A. Adams

(November 26, 1869 - June 17, 1966)

(Dallas, TX, Census 1930)

Adams appears to be the dominant actor in this group. In 1930, he is already bank president,
and at his death, he is titular head of the First National Bank in Dallas.

Adams is the one with the money. In 1930, his 3,900+ square foot home in Highland Park is valued at $45,000.
It was constructed in 1919 and renovated in 1997. It is listed on current tax rolls as "Desireable" and valued over $6,000,000.
Annual property taxes are over $100,000.
