9729 Van Dyke
Architect: Donald Speck
Built: 1960
In 1960, on a hillside facing White Rock Lake, architect Donald Speck created an iconic and enduring residence for the Topper family. Framed by broad single-story ranch-style homes, Speck inventively carved away the hillside and continued the upper band of windows down the exterior wall to provide a hidden, daylight filled lower level for the bedrooms for the large family.
6325 Vanderbilt
Architect: Far+Dang
Built: 2021
Far+Dang designed this inspiring warm, modern home for the Thurmond family in 2021. “We want our home to be a big wabi-sabi Texas welcome.” says homeowner and builder Taylor Thurmond.
11002 Creekmere
Built: 1963
This 1963 mid-century modern home was designed and built by its original owners, an engineer and his wife who graduated from UT Southwestern Medical School and was in her Neurology Fellowship at Baylor Medical Center. The current owners have had the privilege of meeting one of the original owners and members of the family who lived in the home from the 1970s through 2014.
1030 Forest Grove
Architect: Ju-Nel, Lyle Rowley and Jack Wilson
Built: 1963
The White Rock Home Tour was introduced in 2006 by Hexter parents inspired to share their wonderful Ju-Nel homes to raise funds for their neighborhood school. On our 15th annual tour, we are so excited to reveal a newly renovated fabulous Ju-Nel home!
8828 Capri
Built: 1961
On first glance this wonderful mid-century modern home is mysteriously discreet. A calm and thoughtfully composed front lawn alludes to the cool, minimalist sensibility of these homeowners and their stewardship of this special home.
