The Neighborhood Committee identified the five styles they wanted to be Contributing.
What’s the Impact?
- The City used the Neighborhood Committee’s data, presented in Neighborhood Meetings 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15.

Unforeseen Consequences
Failure to Recognize French Norman
Willis Winters says 6800 Lakewood is the premier example of French Norman-style Dallas.

The idea is to replace all Non-Contributing houses with one in a Contributing style.
