Architecturally Significant Dines and Kraft Home in Lakewood
English Style Estate Home Overlooking Lakewood Golf Course Sold by Douglas Newby
The finest neighborhoods have an anchor of architectural styles and architects. The best neighborhoods also convey a sense of community. The home at 6633 Country Club Circle exemplifies both of these qualities.
Dines and Kraft Designed Homes were Prevalent in Lakewood in the 1920s
In the 1920s, Dines and Kraft were responsible for many of the English style estate homes still enjoyed today in the Lakewood Conservation District, including this historic home at 6633 Country Club Circle. This historic and architecturally significant home at 6633 Country Club Circle enjoys the prime position on an island of only 14 significant homes that look across the golf course of Lakewood Country Club to a clear view of downtown Dallas.
One of the Five Best Homes on Swiss Just Sold – Architect Hal Thomson
Hal Thomson Historic Home on Swiss Avenue Sold by Douglas Newby
Swiss Avenue is the cradle of Dallas architecture and architecturally significant homes. Architect Hal Thomson, who designed this home in 1914 at 5323 Swiss Avenue, is the godfather of Dallas architects. Many don’t realize the impact and influence the homes on Swiss Avenue and architect Hal Thomson have on the architecture and architects in Dallas. Many consider 5323 Swiss to be one of the best five homes in the Swiss Avenue Historic District and one of the most architecturally significant homes in Dallas. You can scroll through Centennial Pictures of all 100 homes on Swiss Avenue and determine what you think are the best five homes on Swiss Avenue.
After a Grand Tour of Europe, Hal Thomson Made His Mark on Swiss Avenue
Henry B. Thomson (Hal Thomson) was a society architect who after his grand tour of Europe made his mark on Swiss Avenue before he began designing architecturally significant homes in Highland Park. The Aldredge house also on Swiss Avenue and 5323 Swiss Avenue that Douglas Newby recently sold quickly come to mind when one thinks of architect Hal Thomson.
David Williams Designed Home
David Williams Originated Texas Modern Style
Architect David Williams originated the Texas Modern Style inspired by Texas and Louisiana indigenous homes. The home at 6292 Mercedes Avenue in Wilshire Heights Neighborhood in Dallas that he designed for Ray McDowell in 1927 is where David Williams jumped off from the blatant Spanish Colonial eclecticism prevalent in the 1920s and designed a more “Texas Colonial” style home reflecting the indigenous qualities of East Texas and Louisiana. As architectural historian Jay C. Henry wrote in his fabulous book, Architecture in Texas 1895-1945, David Williams’ work was further inspired by the colonists led by Stephen Fuller Austin in 1821. David Williams said, “Their comfort demanded a little beauty and a great deal of taste. There is not in any one of these houses built in the Southwest before 1850 an instance of imitation of foreign styles, of sham, of striving for effect, of any use of unnatural, unnecessary ornament or of material not structural and fit for its purpose….Their style is modern, for it satisfies all the requirements of modern design and construction.”
1.26 Forested Acres Five Blocks from White Rock Lake and Five Minutes to Highland Park
Perfect Site for a New Architecturally Significant Home
Most estate lots, even in Preston Hollow and Bluffview, are flat with only a few that have a hint of a creek. This 1.26-acre estate home building site has dramatic topography, a forest, trails, ponds and a linear lake.
Perfect Placement for a 12,058 Square Foot Modern Home
Tucked in the Woods Close to White Rock Lake, Only Five Minutes on Mockingbird Lane from SMU and Highland Park
It is hard to imagine living in the city, not far from the Dallas Arts District and the vibrancy of the best restaurants, that one can enjoy an estate lot that feels this secluded and part of nature. My favorite homes express the best of organic urbanism – where nature and civilization meet.
