About this home

Designed by Charles S. Dilbeck, this home retains the architectural detail that defines his work in Dallas. Here, one sees both the inspiration of an English cottage and Dilbecks embrace of Texas indigenous architecture, expressed through a series of front porches that shape the approach to the house. At 4676 Lorraine Avenue, stone steps and half-columns lead directly to the front door. The home is arranged along the length of the lot, allowing sunlight to enter from two directions and bringing light into the main rooms throughout the day. Clad in irregularly cut stone, the house is defined by adjacent rectangular and cylindrical chimneys. A mature live oak frames the Lorraine faade, while a Japanese maple softens the front garden and sets the architecture within its landscape. The living room reflects Dilbecks ability to create the scale of an estate home within a Highland Park residence. A massive stone fireplace, trimmed with dental molding and set on a tiered semi-circular hearth, defines the room. A flat beam ceiling and diagonal wood planks above the fireplace reinforce the architectural character of the space. Bookshelves, cabinetry, and an ornately carved passageway lead toward the front door, where Dilbeck-designed metalwork is found. Diamond-pane leaded glass windows in the dining room look to the front garden, and a double passageway connects the dining room to the living room and entry. Hardwood floors extend through these spaces. Between the dining room and kitchen, Dilbecks characteristic breakfast nook remains in place. The kitchen retains its original cabinetry. A studio off the living room, with stone walls and tile floors, overlooks the rear garden. Recognized by Preservation Park Cities with a Historic Home plaque, this residence reflects the architectural significance that distinguishes Dilbecks work in Highland Park, University Park, and Dallas.
