This luxe kitchen look is achieved with bookmatch

This luxe kitchen look is achieved with bookmatched slab. "Bookmatching" refers to matching two or more slabs of stone that were right next to each other in the quarry and installs them side by side. The effect is that the two adjoining surfaces mirror each other, like an opened book. We think this might make the "bestseller" list. 😉⁣

#TBT Dallasites will recognize this posh icon. Bui

#TBT Dallasites will recognize this posh icon. Built in 1925, the King Mansion was originally the home of Sheppard King, a wealthy and influential Dallas cotton and oil businessman. He was also the son of a Confederate Civil War veteran. ⁣
⁣
The two-story King Mansion was solidly constructed and designed to resemble European homes, and was typical of other luxurious mansions seen in Dallas in the 1920’s. A tower, a formal patio, verandas, and arcades reflected the home’s 16th century Italian and Spanish colonial design influences. The Mansion was part of the first wave of residential construction in the Highland Park neighborhood, which at the time, was advertised to be “beyond the city’s smoke and dust.” ⁣
⁣
The home was sold to another successful Dallas oilman and his wife in 1935, and was converted into offices in the late 1940’s. The Mansion and its four acre wooded site was purchased in 1979 and restored as an exclusive restaurant. A nine-story luxury hotel was constructed adjacent to it in the 1980s.

#TBT The American Foursquare house style was popul

#TBT The American Foursquare house style was popular from the mid-1890s to the late 1930s. It was plain, often incorporating handcrafted woodwork elements of the Prairie School and Craftsman styles. ⁣
⁣
The hallmarks of the style include a boxy design, 2.5 stories high, with four large, boxy rooms, a center dormer, and a large front porch with wide stairs. The boxy shape provides a maximum amount of interior room space, to use a small city lot to best advantage. Other common features included a hipped roof, arched entries between common rooms, and built-in cabinetry. ⁣
⁣
This Dallas version of the American Foursquare is called “Bradford House” and is a two-story rectangular brick veneer Prairie-style house with a front porch that runs along the length of the house. The home was built between 1906-07 for Thomas Bradford who served as the mayor of Dallas from 1931-32. The home was purchased by the Catholic Women’s League in 1930 and an addition was added in 1931. The house was named St. Rita’s and provided lodging for young working women until 1971. ⁣
⁣
Over the next 24 years the home either sat vacant or was occupied by various businesses. First Dallas Securities purchased and renovated the home in 1995. The grand entry and stairway as well as interior woodwork were also restored. The Bradford House is one of the few remaining residences in the Cedar-Springs - Maple Avenue neighborhood. It was registered as a Dallas Landmark in 1996. ⁣

#TBT Dogtrot—a style of house with a wide centra

#TBT Dogtrot—a style of house with a wide central breezeway that connects two enclosed halves of a house—that was common throughout the Southeastern U.S. during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This rural home was a classic “dogtrot” and built sometime during the 1870-80’s. Known as The Cox Farmhouse, its original design was supposedly retained and incorporated into the existing home around 1900. ⁣
⁣
As it stands now, the Cox Farmhouse is a two-story picturesque example of a Queen Anne Victorian style home. There have been several minor changes and additions to the home over the years, but are less than what one would expect given the age of the home. The interior remains significantly unchanged since its original construction, and maintains its original wood floors, trim and other Victorian detailing. Unfortunately, relatively few examples of this style of home have survived intact in Dallas.⁣
⁣
The Cox Farmhouse was registered as a Dallas Landmark in 1992, and is also a Registered Texas Historic Landmark, and is included in the State Historic Marker program.⁣
