I have a number of friends who have visited me over the years from other parts of the country, and almost all were surprised that Texas didn't fit the stereotype they had in their heads. Although we have our share of Western charm, we also have some breathtakingly beautiful architecture, including amazing mid-century homes.
I thought I'd treat you to a peek at a few of them from
Douglas Newby's site, which I think you will thoroughly enjoy. A section of his larger Architecturally Significant Homes site is devoted to modern and mid-century homes in the Dallas area, many of which are for sale. You might also enjoy
Mid-Century Modern Homes on Facebook for more stunning photos of Texas homes.
