2101 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas

The Dallas Bar Association, led by Robert Hyer Thomas, reclaimed the Belo Mansion, built in 1900. The owner sold it for less than half its value. The attorneys’ dues tripled, but it provided them a landmark building, a downtown presence, and preserved one of the early Ross Avenue mansions for Dallas. Ross Avenue lined with the city’s finest mansions preceded the planned development of Munger Place and the Swiss Avenue residences.
