Hal Thomson Design

5439 Swiss Avenue, Dallas, Texas

Swiss Avenue Historic Home

This home was designed by Hal Thomson in 1914 for George Greer, the president of Magnolia Petroleum Company, which later became Mobil Oil. Truly eclectic, the home is not true to a design of the eighteenth century, but includes Georgian details and a nod toward Italian Renaissance. The home is listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior National Parks Service as the George Greer home.

This Italian Renaissance home shows the virtuosity of Hal Thomson and the many eclectic styles in which he was successful.

Award-Winning Realtor Douglas Newby

Douglas Newby knows the potential inventory of architecturally significant homes and the nuances of neighborhoods in Highland Park better than any real estate agent in Dallas. Understanding inventory is more than relying on MLS or “hip pockets.” It is approaching the market as if every home in Dallas is for sale. When a buyer looks for a home from that perspective, they are not constrained by a random slice of what is presently on the market or hoping something better will magically come on the market. A traditional approach leaves economics and aesthetics to chance. For decades Douglas Newby has identified architecturally significant homes and helped clients select neighborhoods in good locations that make them happy.
