Fair Park National Historic Landmark, Dallas
This house was one of four "Homes of the Future" constructed for the 1936 Texas Centennial Exposition. It is one of only two that remain at Fair Park. Highly deteriorated, the house had been most recently used for gardening storage by the adjacentDallas Civic Garden Center. Restoration was initially begun as a Texas Sesquicentennial project by the Dallas Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. Following a lag in the project's design, it was completed by Norman Alston and was his first venture into historic preservation.
