Munger Place Historic District, Dallas

The streets of Munger Place feature wide sidewalks, grand two-story residences, and established trees along 70-foot-wide boulevards throughout the neighborhood.

Cotton gin manufacturer Robert S. Munger established this district in 1905 on 300 acres, creating the first deed-restricted neighborhood in Texas with specific building requirements.

The district contains numerous Prairie-style houses with characteristic features including large windows, beam ceilings, crown molding, and original wooden floors from the early 1900s.

The neighborhood provides tax incentives for homeowners who maintain and restore their properties according to historical preservation standards established by Dallas authorities.

Every residence in the district follows strict construction guidelines from 1905, requiring two-story buildings valued at minimum 2,000 dollars and preventing houses from facing side streets.
