George A. McAfee was born in Pekin, Illinois on August 11, 1889. He was one of two sons born to a family named Dietz. When his mother remarried, her husband adopted the boys. George McAfee left Illinois at age 12, riding the rails until he arrived in Texas. Still a young boy, he took a variety of jobs including work for Wells Fargo and chauffeur.
McAfee started his career as a photographer in the 1910s. He bought a camera, and started taking photographs of people he met, finding photography an interesting profession. In 1916, McAfee was listed as a photographer in the Dallas city directory. He worked as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News from circa 1922 until 1928. McAfee opened a commercial studio around 1930, and owned it until his retirement in 1971. He photographed Dallas streets and commercial buildings for almost forty years. Many of the street scenes were taken at night showing decorative neon signs. The collection includes images of department stores, offices, commercial buildings, churches, schools, classrooms, furniture, groups of people, outdoor Christmas lighting, interiors of homes, and commercial exhibits. Other subjects include railroad depots, automobiles, planes and portraits of photographer George McAfee. Dallas Power & Light was a prominent client. McAfee also collected earlier Dallas views by other photographers. McAfee died October 13, 1974.
The George A. McAfee photograph collection covers McAfee’s career as a Dallas Morning News photojournalist and then commercial photographer. The collection includes circa 750 prints and 140 negatives. Many prints bear McAfee’s commercial stamp verso. The majority of the photographs were made in the 1920s through the 1960s. They illustrate the architectural, economic and social development of Dallas. The collection includes images of downtown high rise office buildings, department stores, commercial buildings, railroad depots, automobiles, planes, churches, schools, classrooms, furniture, groups of people, outdoor Christmas lighting, interiors of homes, commercial exhibits, State Fair of Texas displays, radio and television, circus shows, and other subjects. Dallas Power & Light was a prominent client. Also included are portraits of McAfee, prints by other photographers and copies of photographs from the late 19th century and early 20th century. The prints are thematically organized in 27 folders, housed in three boxes. The negatives are housed in two boxes.
Collection is open for research use.
