History of Highland Park
The romance of Highland Park dates back to the early 1900's
when John Armstrong commissioned Wilbur David Cook, designer of Beverly
Hills, to lend his creative vision to the neighborhood that would
become the crown jewel of Dallas. Since its inception, the township's
architecture has been influenced by Spanish Mediterranean styles-evident
in Highland Park Village, the corner stone of this vibrant community.
The History of Addison Mizner
Addison
Mizner was one of America
's most original and
influential designers 
of
the early 20th century.
His customers, the
most affluent of Palm
Beach and Boca Raton
gravitated
to
his design philosophy
of integrating a
relaxed
ambiance, a contrast
from the more formal
atmosphere of northern
residences,
for people
who entertained lavishly.
His buildings usually
presented a quiet
elegance with a restrained
facade. Mizner's
functional
floor
plans maximized
innovative integration
of indoor/outdoor
living with easy
access
to the loggia, cloister
and patio courtyard
creating
the feeling of never
being far from the
gardens.
