About the Munger Place Historic District As you step back into the early 20th century, the neighborhood not only looks like something from yesteryear, but the neighbors talk to each other and there are neighborhood events that are planned regularly. Our member events include porch parties, jack-o-lantern carving, Easter egg hunts and more. Munger Place also has public events like Halloween and the Home Tour and/or Wine Walk. The Munger Place neighborhood has been named a Historical District, it requires each home owner to make decisions within the Historic District Ordinance. The Ordinance helps us keep the look and feel very much like it was when the neighborhood was built in the early 1900's. However, it also includes stipulations on the color of paint that is used, how the repairs or restoration of the home is done, and the items, plants and grass used to landscaping the yard. Munger Place was established in 1905 by cotton gin manufacturer Robert S. Munger on 300 acres as one of Dallas's first suburbs, and was originally intended to be one of the most exclusive communities in the city. To attract the "right" social element, Munger Place was carefully planned. Just minutes from downtown Dallas by carriage, Munger Place became the very first deed-restricted neighborhood in Texas. Homes had to be a full two stories, cost at least US$2,000 and no house could face a side street. The infrastructure featured such amenities as sidewalks, paved streets, shade trees, sewers, gas mains, and electric street lights. Many of the Dallas' leading businessmen and social elite soon called magnificent Munger Place home. The Great Depression led many of the community's mansions to be converted into multi-family housing. The neighborhood lost its elite cachet, and by the 1960s many of the nicer houses in the area had been torn down. Starting in the 1970s, however, Munger Place began to be rediscovered, as enterprising individuals recognized the historic architecture (particularly Prairie Style) and large spaces. Living here is simple: Chic and Convenient. Not only could you walk to DART or jump in your car zooming off to the Design District in a matter of minutes, the proximity to Lower Greenville or Deep Ellum are both a dog’s walk from your porch.
