#TBT The Ahab Bowen house is located in the Uptown, Vineyard/Quadrangle area of Dallas. It is significant as one of the oldest buildings in the city, and one of the few remaining folk Victorian dwellings. Built in 1874, it is a vernacular dwelling of the mid-Victorian period. It was altered in both 1900 and 1976. The home has been lovingly maintained and retains much of its integrity.

The surrounding area was developed during the 1880s-1890s. The residences of the period were one-story cottages or two-story residences made of brick or stone. The surviving buildings are surrounded by commercial and modern multi-family buildings dating from the 20th century.

On #TBT we are featuring some of Dallas County’s unique residential architecture that have earned their prestigious spot on the Texas Historic Landmarks record.

#TBT This Swiss Avenue neighborhood lot was home to Robert and Marie Stubbs and their two children. Robert was originally from Mississippi and moved to Dallas in 1897 to establish a paving business with his father. Marie⁣
was from Berlin, Germany. ⁣
⁣
Constructed in 1926, it reflected a popular Tudor style with its pitched roof, half-timbered gables, notable chimneys and low-pointed arch entries. Robert sadly passed one year after construction was complete, but Marie continued to live and entertain there until 1940. The home was converted to apartments at one time, but returned to single-family use in the 1970’s.⁣

#TBT This Swiss Avenue home was rightly the nucleus of the “Wilson Block.” When Dallas businessman Frederick P. Wilson and his wife Henrietta Frichot Wilson acquired the site in 1899, they not only built their house, but six others as rental homes which were then occupied by many of Dallas’ prominent leaders. ⁣
⁣
This section of the neighborhood features Victorian and Queen Anne architectural influences of clapboard siding, decorative shingle patters, gabled roofs and detailed ornamentation. This area of Swiss Avenue has a rich heritage and the history of our great city has deep⁣
roots here.⁣

#TBT This Cochran Heights home was designed by Charles Stevens Dilbeck, a builder and lumberman. Dilbeck designed more than 630 houses in Dallas primarily in Lakewood, Preston Hollow, North Oak Cliff and the Park Cities neighborhoods. ⁣
⁣
His signature style was asymmetrical facades, chimney details, dovecotes, turrets and various combinations of roof forms and heights. He was known for his techniques to give an “aged” look to brick and wood, and often incorporated⁣
salvaged materials and local craftsmen’s work.⁣
