White Rock Lake
When evaluating architecturally significant homes, I always consider how the home relates to its site and its impact on the neighborhood. Then I admire the architectural appeal and, finally and most important, I consider if this home would make one happy living in the home. This modern home designed by Clifford Miles Welch is exemplary in all aspects. Found on the estate cove of White Rock Lake, this contemporary home is sited on a smaller lot than many of the homes found here on one to several acres. However, architect Cliff Welch exploited the views of White Rock Lake and the home’s relationship with the lake like few others.

Glenn Allen Galaway Designed Architecturally Significant House
1019 Waterford Drive, Dallas, Texas
This home in Lake Park Estates is one of the most important midcentury modern homes in Dallas. It was designed by architect Glenn Allen Galaway for his own residence and was renovated by architect Cliff Welch, FAIA, also for his own residence.
Galaway designed 1019 Waterford in 1954 for himself. It is a good example of a small house with a very sophisticated design. Twelve-foot sliding glass doors lead to the back yard and adjacent flood plain and green belt. Cliff Welch restored this residence for his own home. This home has since won a 25-year award from the Dallas Chapter AIA.
