Munger.","why_significant":"The district was Dallas' elite residential showplace, planned with uniform lot sizes, alleys for utilities and stables, regularly planted trees, and building restrictions on setbacks, height and minimum cost. Its houses, largely Prairie Style with some Tudor Revival, Neo-Classical and Spanish Colonial Revival examples, still show these planning concepts and distinguish it from surrounding areas.","narrative":"Munger Place is a residential district in Dallas, Texas, laid out in 1905 by R.S. Munger as an elite neighborhood. The nominated portion covers five streets, Junius, Worth, Tremont, Victor and Reiger, across 85 acres and 278 lots. Of these, 207 hold vintage houses, and about 60 percent of the buildings have seen little or no facade alteration. The developers aimed for uniformity: similar lot sizes were grouped together, alleys carried utilities and stables, and trees such as sycamore, pecan and elm lined the streets. Deed restrictions set how far houses sat from the street, required two full stories, barred houses from facing side streets, and set minimum construction costs. The prevailing architecture is Prairie Style, seen in about ninety dwellings, often mixed with Bungaloid features. Tudor Revival, Neo-Classical and Spanish Colonial Revival houses also appear. The district was listed for its planning, its intact landscape concepts and its collection of early twentieth-century houses.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Predominantly Prairie Style, with Bungaloid elements and some Neo-Classical, Tudor Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival and Eclectic examples","criteria":[],"status_note":"Still primarily residential; 207 of 278 lots hold vintage dwellings, and about 60% of buildings have had little or no facade alteration.
