Hal Thompson Designed Historic Home on Swiss Avenue – Sold by Douglas Newby
Swiss Avenue is the cradle of Dallas architecture and architecturally significant homes. Hal Thomson, who designed this home at 5323 Swiss Avenue, is the godfather of Dallas architects. Henry B. Thomson (Hal Thomson) was a society architect, who after his grand tour of Europe, made his mark on Swiss Avenue. The Aldredge home on Swiss Avenue and 5323 Swiss Avenue, that I just sold, quickly come to mind when one thinks of architect Hal Thomson. Twenty-five years ago, I sold the home for the Fraiser family who had owned the home for almost 50 years. They had maintained this grand Swiss Avenue home and kept its original condition virtually untouched, which accentuated the architectural brilliance of architect Hal Thomson.
Architect C.W. Bulger designed this home on the Swiss Avenue boulevard in Munger Place. The elegant Italian Renaissance style is sited on .8 acres that allows views of a lush estate home garden from every room of the home. With over 6,000 square feet, this architecturally significant home is substantial and refined. Extra high ceilings for the era, terraces, porches and porte-cocheres surround the home and extend this lovely residence into the landscape.
