History
editThe neighborhood is named for Lark Owen Daniel, a successful Dallas businessman who in 1901 purchased the 27-acre plot of land that would become L.O. Daniel.[2]
Daniel's original 1905 homestead Cedar Crest still stands, and was named a historical landmark in 1984.[3]
The parcel would be subdivided and developed multiple times over the ensuing decades - LO Daniel is composed mainly of single family houses built from the 1920s to the 1940s, including multiple houses designed by Charles Dilbeck.[2] The majority of the Rosemont Crest Historic District, listed in the National Register of Historic Places, lies within the L.O. Daniel neighborhood.
