Haynes Street

By 1907, the driveway to the Mounts farm became Mounts Av. The two Mounts homesteads appear north of Gregg Av. Mounts farm was bounded by Gregg, the western side of Amarillo and the north side of Anderson. A major water tower provided fresh well water.

The John B. Denton College building was sold to the Church of Christ who started the Southwestern Christian College.

The John B. Denton College building was sold to the Denton City Schools to create the first Denton High School in 1912.

This triggered the residential development of Mounts Farm and Mrs. Mounts house was moved to create Mounts Av. to Congress St. and the development of Haynes, Anderson and Amarillo Street.

The John B. Denton College building was incorporated as part of the Denton High School. Walking to school created the need for new residential homes.

Haynes Street was planned by 1917, but without lots to define home sales.

Haynes Street, named for Mrs. Mounts’ maiden family name, began residential growth.

The Senior High School, now Calhoun Middle School, was built in 1924

Former City High School became the Junior High School.
