Tuesday Two Hundred: ’70s Era Contemporary Has Me Hearing HAL

By Joanna England / August 7, 2012 /

Seriously, this house could be a set for 2001: A Space Odyssey! Everything is white, white, white, and there’s a “reading tube” that reminds me of several scenes from Stanley Kubrick’s masterpiece, but this one particularly strikes a chord!

The home, 16919 Brushfield Dr., was built in 1979, and Kubrick’s 2001 hit theaters in 1968, so it’s doubtful that the architect was inspired by the film. Still, this house is so cool!

The Leppert Listing: Who Else Would Market a Former Mayor’s Home Than a Former Mayor

By Joanna England / July 31, 2012 /

From what Candy has said, and from the photos we’ve seen, former Dallas mayor Tom Leppert’s home is just the kind of place you’d expect the Preston Hollow-living former head honcho of our fair burg.

And who else would Tom and Laura choose to sell their home than Mary Poss? It’s really perfect, says Cody Baker on the Ebby blog, considering that Poss was a Dallas City Council member for eight years and was once acting mayor, too.
