The first paragraph of the article.
Long before Las Vegas came into its prime as a premiere gaming center, Top O’Hill Terrace was considered the most luxurious “gambling establishment” in the U.S. The property itself was located on land outside of any city limits, in unincorporated Tarrant County. The first structure was originally built on the property by Beulah Marshall in the early 1920s as a fine dining establishment for wealthy patrons, offering dinner and afternoon tea in its lovely tea garden which offered a fantastic view from its 1,000 foot high vantage point. The property had an excellent business location with easy access to the rich who could drive from either Fort Worth or Dallas on the Bankhead Highway.
