Born in 1898, Reverend Hunton embarked on a remarkable journey that led him to establish a congregation in the Chalk Hill area of West Dallas. With unwavering determination and the support of his community, he transformed a parcel of land into the cherished Davis Street Baptist Church in 1936.

A Haven for Milestones:

From the 1940s to the present day, The Cliff House has stood witness to countless moments of joy and devotion. It was here that Reverend Hunton's son, B.J., exchanged vows, marking the beginning of a tradition that would see numerous weddings and celebrations. Over the years, Tyler Street Baptist Church, Tyler Heights Baptist Church, and Iglesia del Senor have continued this legacy, enveloping the venue in a tapestry of cherished memories.
