It responds to the local climate through porches, breezeways, large overhangs and a one-room-deep plan. The house also retains a high level of integrity and its wooded setting.","narrative":"Built in 1939-1940 at 3201 Wendover Road in East Dallas, this two-story brick house was designed for Alfred and Juanita Bromberg by architect O'Neil Ford of Ford and Swank. It sits on a wooded lot of nearly five acres ringed by Beard Branch Creek and reached by a gravel drive over a historic wooden bridge. The house is mostly one room deep, with a low galvanized steel roof, large brick chimneys and numerous screened porches and breezeways meant to catch breezes and shade residents from the Texas sun. It has no ornamentation. Interiors by Lynn Ford, the architect's brother, feature hemlock trim, beech floors and carved mantels. The house is recognized as an early example of Ford's Texas regional style, a design approach drawn from the state's vernacular building traditions. A restoration between 2000 and 2004 preserved most original materials, and the house and its setting retain a high level of historic integrity.","period_of_significance":"1939","architect_builder":"O'Neil Ford, Arch Swank, Lynn Ford","architectural_style":"Other: Texas Regional","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Restored in 2000-2004 and in use as a single-family dwelling; the roof was replaced in 2000-2001 and the bridge was rehabilitated.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:24.022794-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/53/9716/40971653/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/08000658.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000658/b348bd0dcb-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/08000658/b348bd0dcb-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BrombergHouse1.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:BrombergHouse1.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40971653","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000201"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/dallas-county/bromberg-alfred-and-juanita-house-08000658/"}
