ORIGINAL
DESCRIPTION: |
A
well executed arched porte cochere, small windows with
hearldic designs flanking the chimney, and wooden gabled
dormer constitute the most overly eclectic features while
the remainder of the house has vestiges of the Progressive
Mode with several grouped windows, brick piers at the
recessed porch, and hipped roof. The house has an H-shaped
central hall plan, but dissimilar facade treatment of
otherwise symmentrical pavillions is a concession to contemporary
taste for picturesque asymmetry. |
| OF
INTEREST: |
This home was built at a cost of $18,000, and its first
occupant was Henry Morris, general manager and vice
president of Dallas Gas Company. |
