The Aldredge House Museum, Aldredge House, 5500 Swiss Avenue, Dallas, Texas

West Texas Rancher William J. Lewis, a native of Maryland, and his wife, Willie (Newbury) of Dallas had the House constructed from 1915 to1917. Designed by architects Hal Thomson and Marion Fooshee, it features English Georgian and French Renaissance styling influences.

In 1921, the home was purchased by George E. Aldredge, a prominent banker. He and his wife Rena (Munger) were active civic leaders and major contributors to the arts. In 1974, Mrs. Aldredge and her family gave the House to the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance Foundation to be used as its headquarters.

Except for the kitchen facilities, the house is virtually unchanged since 1917…a true trip back in time.
