#TBT This two-story duplex is an excellent example

#TBT This two-story duplex is an excellent example of the Spanish Eclectic style prevalent in the southwest between 1915 and 1940. Designed by local self-taught architect C. D. Hutsell in 1931, the upper and lower units sold separately making the duplex very cost-effective. Each level is under 1000 sq. ft. and includes a living room, dining room, bedroom, small bathroom, galley kitchen, and a very interesting feature–chutes to a common exterior incinerator. ⁣
⁣
Some of the duplex’s prominent features include a two-story integral porch, a balcony with turned wooden railing, battened wooden shutters, and a Spanish clay tile roof. Interior features include original wrought iron lamps and sconces, cast plaster fireplaces, red oak hardwood flooring, bright monochrome tile backsplashes, and a small “secret panel” doorway that leads to a back stairwell. Original primary colors and color mixes are prevalent throughout the duplex. ⁣
⁣
The Adams-Gullett Duplex has been home to many occupants during its nearly 90-year history, including artists, entrepreneurs, and politicians. The duplex cost $4,000 to construct in 1931 and is currently valued at over $645,000. ⁣

#TBT A November 1920 Dallas classifieds ad read, “NEW, 7-room brick, veneer apartment, second floor of duplex, carefully planned and pronounced to be the most beautifully finished apartment ever offered for rent in Dallas.” ⁣
⁣
The 3829 N. Hall Street two-story, red brick, Prairie School style duplex was built in 1920 by architect Charles “C.P.” Sites and is located in the Oak Lawn neighborhood of Dallas. The duplex is significant because of its use as one of Dallas’ early upscale multi-family residences. Mr. Sites is also notorious for designing large Prairie School style homes on Swiss Avenue in historic east Dallas. ⁣
⁣
The distinctive style was championed by Frank Lloyd Wright and is sometimes called “Vernacular Wright” because of its strong vertical emphasis. Unlike traditional Prairie School style structures though, this one lacks a front porch. A two-story, one room extension was added as servants’ quarters to the southern facade of the structure soon after construction. That extension keeps the structure from being a perfect rectangular. ⁣
⁣
There are two entrances to the building, and each floor was its own separate unit. A back porch was added in the 1950s and was enclosed in later years. Original features of the structure such as hardwood floors, molding and trim, and two Rockwood tiled fireplaces are intact. ⁣
⁣
The building continued as a residential duplex until the 1940s. After that it had many uses including a dentist’s office, a doctor’s office, and its current day tenant, The Landmark Salon. Over the years, it saw many tenants in the upper level residence, including the daughter of the founder of Buckner Orphans’ Home. It was designated a Dallas Landmark in 2006. ⁣

#TBT “…Approximately 5,000 people a day paid 3

#TBT “…Approximately 5,000 people a day paid 35 cents apiece to swim and use the lockers and dressing rooms [at the White Rock Bath House],” according to Henry Jebsen Jr., contributing author of Centennial History of the Dallas, Texas Park System, 1876-1976. The White Rock Bath House was constructed in 1930 by C.L. Moore Company to provide a recreation area for the people of Dallas at White Rock Lake. Additionally, the area provided, “the largest swimming ‘pool’ in Dallas”. The White Rock Bath House was used until 1953-54 when a severe drought dried up the lake, and the bathhouse was closed down. White Rock Bath House was named a Dallas Landmark in 1996.

The building was designed by the architectural firm of Carsey and Linskie. It has been suggested that the style and materials used by Carsey for the bathhouse were influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright whom Carsey had worked for.

Art Deco, short for Arts Décoratifs, was a widely popular style in the U.S. in the 1930s and was characterized by a sleek, linear appearance with stylized, often geometric ornamentation. It made its first large scale appearance in Dallas with the design and construction of the Centennial buildings at Fair Park in 1935-36. The White Rock Bath House is an excellent example of early Art Deco style with its symmetrical design, and vertical emphasis defined by columns.
