Mediterranean and Romanesque Style Architecture
Dallas Eclectic Architecture
The grandeur and grace of Beverly Drive has been defined for almost 100 years by the Mediterranean style homes invoking opulence and prestige reminiscent of Beverly Hills, California. You’ll find classic architectural idioms and Mediterranean style in these Highland Park Estate Homes.
4608 Lakeside Drive, Dallas, Texas
This Highland Park estate home on Lakeside Drive, the most prestigious street in Old Highland Park, has the most beautiful views of Turtle Creek. Inside the house or on the front terrace, you are looking across the lilly pads and great expanse of water framed by azaleas and distant views of the sweeping lawns of magnificent estate properties.
4421 Beverly Drive, Dallas, Texas
Modern award-winning architects Braxton Werner and Paul Field have designed the modern renovation of this original Beverly Drive home in Highland Park. While the scale and exterior architecture is consistent with other homes on the block, the interior has been dramatically changed, reflecting the compatibility of modern with Mediterranean.
4023 Cochran Chapel Road, Dallas, Texas
On a private street of estate and architect designed homes is this majestic Mediterranean home on 2.37 acres. Removed from the street, placed on the crest of a hill, landscape architects David Rolston and Robert Bellamy have created an environment accentuating the home and the tranquility of the site.
4001 Beverly Drive, Dallas, Texas
The many compliments of this new home indicate that it has struck a chord with Dallas. This Romanesque styled home is built out of Texas fossilized limestone. We see many new homes in Dallas that are romanticized revivals of Georgian, Tudor or Italian homes. The exterior of these homes are often very polished with bulging cast stone trim and oversized windows.

Highland Park Mediterranean Style Home
This Mediterranean style home designed in 1919 along Hackberry Creek in Highland Park, is significant both architecturally for its renovation and for who has lived in the home over the years. Architect Wilson Fuqua did the renovation and expanded the home in one of the most beautiful and effective ways to enjoy the creek and lush gardens.
3657 Maplewood Avenue, Dallas, Texas
This Italian eclectic home built in 1990 recalls the great houses of the 1920s. 9 foot doors and 11 foot ceilings create a vertical space as the home moves easily across the front axis and deep into the home with visually open horizontal space.
3828 Turtle Creek Drive, Dallas, Texas
Architect John Allen Boyle, who also designed the Shepherd King Mansion, designed this Mediterranean home with elaborate tile and stone detailing. The terraced gardens down to the creek are reminiscent of the best stone tile work of colonial Mexico.
