Hatcher Station
Elsie Faye Heggins Street and Scyene Road
(4003 Elsie Faye Heggins St., Dallas 75210 - Mapsco 47S)
This ever-changing neighborhood once contained a natural body of water, Wahoo Lake, and a cotton mill, owned by black landowner Joe E. "Boots" Wiley. African Americans often sought work at the mill. Knowing the area's history, artist Vicki Meek created a wonderful backdrop for the station. A mural in the form of a community quilt - featuring work from area artists. This mural reflects the community, both past and present. Hatcher Station is served by DART Rail Green Line trains.

Station Art:
At Hatcher Station, this art project attempts to recover a neighborhood's lost history and tie it to the present. Artist Vicki Meek had the vision of a community quilt and carried this vision throughout her design.The landscaping and paving both use a quilted look, with the latter featuring offset gray pavers to create the appearance of stitching. The crosswalk pavers showcase the names of businesses that once thrived in the area, another nod to the community's history.
