Munger Place Home Tour: May 3 & 4
Well, folks, it’s open season on home tours. Here’s another perennial favorite: East Dallas’ Munger Place Home Tour. It may seem like every little neighborhood has a tour these days, but Munger Place has cred: About 250 historic residences and a spot on National Register of Historic Places for 30 years. How about those bragging rights? It’s also one of the largest collections of Prairie-style houses in the country. Shown here is a new construction number on Tremont Street. Get tickets, $10, in advance at the Lower Greenville and Preston Forest Whole Foods and Quaint Home Gallery (214-370-9994), or $12 at the tour.
Park Cities Home Tour
Don’t miss the Park Cities Historical and Preservation Society home tour this weekend. It may be crummy weather, but when else can you: wander through a new home at 3507 Crescent that truly complements the area; enjoy a 1915 bungalow at 3511 Lindenwood; visit a 1926 Tudor being restored according to the original blueprints at 4209 Arcady; walk through an original Hal Thomson at 4329 Livingston; or, my personal favorite, enjoy the salon like living room at 4340 Versailles, where I intend to spend many deep thinking evenings (possibly involving Malbec wine) with my friend Christine Allison.
