Swiss Avenue Historic District Neighborhood
Swiss Avenue Historic District Real Estate and Homes for Sale in Munger Place Addition Neighborhood
The earliest homes built in 1905 in the Swiss Avenue Historic District are found in the original addition of Munger Place between the Swiss Avenue gates on Fitzhugh and Dumont. Homes continued to be built along the street in casual chronological order with the most recent homes built in the l930s at the LaVista boundary. The west side of the boulevard is narrower, as it was used as a private drive, and the east side of Swiss Avenue is wider because it was used as a public drive. Even today Swiss Avenue remains the street in Dallas most associated with mansions. Swiss Avenue is also synonymous with preservation as the Historic Preservation League, now Preservation Dallas, was formed simultaneously with Swiss Avenue becoming Dallas’ first Historic District in 1973.

Dear Doug,
This letter is to thank you for being a very critical part of a team that did a phenomenal job of helping us through a very difficult time. You, our CPA and our financial advisor are a group to be reckoned with! I can’t imagine a better partnership.
You were invaluable to our daughter with sound advice on the best action for her to take – even though it cost you an immediate listing. Not everyone would do that. In fact, I am afraid not many would. You delayed your potential sale because it was better for Ginger. I really do appreciate that.
When we did get to the point that a sale was appropriate, you maneuvered it through the maize in an absolutely amazing manner. You condensed what could be, and usually is, a many days or weeks long effort into a very few days. We were amazed by your skill and wisdom.
I am so glad we chose you – although nothing else was ever a consideration. I am so glad we followed your advice. I am so glad you are so wise and experienced. I am so glad it is all done!!!
Thank you, Doug.Yours truly,
Harryette Ehrhardt
