Preservation Dallas is celebrating a major milestone with their 50th Anniversary Home Tour on Saturday, April 15th, 2023. Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty will be supporting the tour as the Title Sponsor.

The tour will kick off on Saturday morning, April 15th, with breakfast and a lecture at the Angelika Film Center at Mockingbird Station. Robbie Briggs, CEO of Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s International Realty, will be our keynote speaker, to be joined by Wilson Fuqua, a noted Dallas-based preservation architect.

Tour Homes

Tour homes will include outstanding examples of preservation and restoration. The first home on the tour is the premiere historic home in Oak Cliff’s Kessler Park, The Kessler Mansion at 1177 Lausanne Avenue. Built in 1925, it has been painstakingly restored over a two-year period.

Other homes will include the classic Tudor Revival-style Stubbs House at 6243 La Vista Drive at the top of Swiss Avenue; the O’Neil Ford-designed home at 3201 Wendover Road in Lakewood; the Frank Welch-designed home at 3535 West Lawther Drive overlooking White Rock Lake; and an original Craftsman bungalow at 5612 Reiger Avenue in Junius Heights. These homes from different eras round out the vision and perspective of how important it is to maintain the fabric of our historic neighborhoods.

The Patron Tour Home at 1112 South Canterbury Court is a charming two-story stone home on one of the best streets in Kessler Park. This Spanish Eclectic designed house was built in 1932 and beautifully maintained by the current owner. It is considered one of the quintessential traditional homes in this neighborhood.

The Patron Party will be held on Thursday evening, April 13th, at the magnificent Aldredge House, a crown jewel in the heart of the Swiss Avenue Historic District. The house, completed in 1917, is one of the most perfect examples of a historic residence in all of Dallas, and its steward is the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance Foundation.

We hope you will attend this spectacular tour, and help Preservation Dallas commemorate their 50th Anniversary!
