Rick Robertson - Beverly Drive, Highland Park
The many compliments of this new home indicate that it has struck a chord with Dallas. This Romanesque styled home is built out of Texas fossilized limestone. We see many new homes in Dallas that are romanticized revivals of Georgian, Tudor or Italian homes. The exterior of these homes are often very polished with bulging cast stone trim and oversized windows. This Beverly home, designed by Rick Robertson, originally from Dallas, revives a style, but it is the 1920s and 1930s homes found in Beverly Hills or the Italian styles expressed in Palm Beach. Around the corner from Highland Park Village, designed by Wilbur Cook of Beverly Hills in the 1930s, a person quickly makes the subliminal connection that this house belongs here. The smaller apertures of the doors and windows reflect the original architectural period. The tile and cruder finish softens the grandeur of the home built of Palm Beach proportions. This home reflects the intended mood and look and feel of Beverly Drive when it was first developed.
