STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Approval, subject to preservation criteria. LANDMARK COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval, subject to preservation criteria.

1-1

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Mr. and Mrs. Marcus hired the local architect Roscoe DeWitt of DeWitt and Washburn to assist Frank Lloyd Wright as his Dallas agent. Over the course of months however, Mr. Marcus grew increasingly frustrated with Wrights design and over-run budget and eventually fired Wright and turned the design over to DeWitt. Influenced by what American modern architects Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler were doing in Los Angeles, DeWitt provided a modern International Style design and modified it for the local environment through materials and design. The modern design, unique to 1930s Dallas, reflects the progressive attitude of Stanley Marcus in art and politics. A stark contrast to the houses in Lakewood, the home remains elegant and contemporary despite additions in the 1950s and 1970s.

STAFF ANALYSIS: Both the Landmark Commission and its Designation Committee have determined this complex to be historically significant under 8 designation criteria. This overlay designation does not change the base zoning or permitted uses for the property.

Comprehensive Plan: This historic overlay is consistent with both the Urban Design and the Neighborhood Elements of the Comprehensive Plan. Historic preservation has played a key role in defining Dallas unique character. Preservation historic neighborhoods and buildings creates a direct, visual link to the past, contributing to a sense of place. Goal 5.1 Create a Sense of Place, Safety and Walkability Policy 5.1.3 Encourage complementary building height, scale, design and character. Goal 5.2 Strengthen Community and Neighborhood Identity Policy 5.2.1 Maintain neighborhood scale and character. Goal 7.2 Preservation of Historic and Cultural Assets Policy 7.2.2 Create a sense of place through the built environment while maintaining the existing historic fabric. Policy 7.2.4 Protect historic and cultural assets. 1-2

Site: The Stanley Marcus house is located in the Lakewood neighborhood of Dallas. Originally located on a tract of 6.5 acres, the site has been reduced to the present 3 acres. The site with few natural trees was heavily planted with trees creating view corridors particularly on the south side where the site boundary is a natural creek. The drive is located on the north side of the structure and is removed from the street. The site was planned for the house to be invisible from the street.

Building Exterior (Original)

It may be the first modern style family house in Dallas and was designed by Roscoe DeWitt of DeWitt and Washburn Architects. DeWitt and Washburn had designed a contemporary show house for the 1936 Texas Centennial. The Marcus house is a two-story brick veneer structure with redwood siding. The flat decks, screened porches, and horizontal banded steel windows reinforce the horizontal expression of the house. Free form in plan, the original house consisted of two shifted rectangular blocks. The overlapping joint was the point of entry, on the north side. On the ground level the public spaces were in the southern rectangle and the service spaces including the garage were in the northern rectangle. The body of the house is predominately brick veneer. Originally, the brick was an red-orange color, common to the Dallas area. Beveled Redwood siding is used at the second level. It was used at the cantilevered balcony above the entry, adjacent to the horizontal second level windows. The brick stops at the second floor windowsills, and on second level walls that occur above occupied space. The roofs are flat and have deep overhangs on the west and south sides of the house. The east and north are terminated at the wall line. Two different overhang conditions were an acknowledgement of the solar orientation of the blocks. The flat roof and deep overhangs reinforce the horizontal lines of the house. The north elevation (entry side) is brick veneer with second floor horizontal band window. The ground floor windows are punch openings. A second level terrace was expressed on the right side. It is contained with an open horizontal steel railing. The center entry is formed by a shift in the floor plan. The faade at the Entry is modest and wood beveled siding is used to emphasis the offset in the floor plan at the second level. The garage was express at the far left side of the north elevation. The south elevation faces a large expanse of lawn with a view corridor to the creek. The ground level formal room was expressed in floor to ceiling glass walls divided into five expressed structural bays. These bays were subdivided into three equally spaced window units. The window units are divided into three un-equal vertical panels. The second floor bedrooms are expressed in continuous equally spaced horizontal band operable units opening onto an open balcony. The balcony is fully covered with a cantilevered extension of the primary roof. The central blocks were flanked by one-story extensions at each side.

Building Exterior (Current)

Mr. Marcus added to his residence several times. The screened south-facing porch was enclosed to enlarge the Living/Dining Rooms. During the 1950s, also on the South side, a Theater Room was added. It maintained the brick and steel casement vocabulary of the primary blocks. The height of this addition is less than the original one-story wings. It generally follows the slope of the site. There are internal steps at the entry to this room. The windows, while steel, have a different pattern. They have a two lite fixed unit over four lite operable casements. The Garage was enclosed with a new structure added to north side. On the far west side of the public block a new library wing was added. The original one-story flanking wing of the south block was expanded by approximately 26 feet. The height matched the original onestory wing. This allowed for his constantly expanding library and collections. The expanded library wing has a single punched window in the north face. The additions each made by Stanley Marcus continue the vocabulary of the original house. It appears that the Roscoe DeWitt continued to be the Architect for these additions. The real design was based on the notes exchanged by Stanley Marcus and the Interior Designer in New York. The additions reflected his changing needs and increasing affluence.

The brick veneer and siding have been painted by the current Owners, Mark and Patty Lovvorn. A major renovation is now planned. This will remove the added garage and remove it from the primary form of the house.

13. Historical Significance

Statement of historical and cultural significance. Include: cultural influences, special events and important personages, influences on neighborhood, on the city, etc. Built in 1938, the Marcus House may have been the first Modern style family house in Dallas. A selfproclaimed confirmed modernist, the house was designed to reflect Stanley Marcus interest in modern architecture. His nation-wide quest to find a suitable architect included interviews with the Swiss architect William Lescaze as well as Richard Neutra of Los Angeles.1 Ultimately, it was after meeting Frank Lloyd Wright that Mr. Marcus contracted with Wright to design his family home. Mr. and Mrs. Marcus hired the local architect (year) Roscoe DeWitt of DeWitt and Washburn Architects to assist Frank Lloyd Wright as his Dallas agent. Over the course of months however, Mr. Marcus grew increasingly frustrated with Wrights design and over-run budget, which had ballooned from the agreed upon $25,000 to a growing $140,000.2 Eventually, Marcus fired Wright and turned the design over to Roscoe DeWitt. Influenced by what American modern architects Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler were doing in Los Angeles, Dewitt provided a modern International Style design and modified it for its local environment through materials and the design. The exterior was limited to a palette of brick, redwood siding and steel windows. The address of 10 Nonesuch Road was the home of the Dallas native Stanley Marcus, president of the family business Neiman-Marcus. The importance of the Stanley Marcus house includes the long professional career of Mr. Marcus, the architectural decision to build a modern house in Dallas, and the Marcus familys influence in the arts and social development of the city in the twentieth century. In Minding the Store, Stanley Marcus wrote about the goal of making the Neiman-Marcus name synonymous with fashion. In addition to that, the name also gained the meaning of keeping money derived from agriculture, oil, and electronics in Dallas rather than sent up to New York. NeimanMarcus was the first regional store to advertise in national fashion magazines such as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar (Marcus p. 73). Although Stanley Marcus began merchandizing only one department in 1927, along with staging the first of the traditional weekly fashion shows. Working his way up, he then became the president in 1950. The site for the house was a gift to the recently married Mary Cantrell and Stanley Marcus (Marcus, Minding the Store). It was given to them by Stanleys father, Herbert Marcus. It was six-and-one-half acres immediately across from [Herberts] house. (Marcus, Minding the Store, 91). They had an initial construction budget of $25,000. The city directory shows the Herbert Marcus house on the corner of Pearson and Westlake. In an interview, L.B. Houston remembered that only three families had houses between Abrams Road and White Rock Lake (Saxon, 125). Among those were Herbert Marcus and Stanley Marcus. Stanley, from his studies at Amherst and Harvard, had become a convert to contemporary architecture. He was an extremely sophisticated architectural client (Fuller). With a site provided, Mary and Stanley Marcus selected Frank Lloyd Wright. The Dallas Morning News arts editor, John Rosenfield arranged the introduction. The design process with Wright began with his trip to Dallas, during an unusually warm January in 1936. Erroneously believing the typical city climate always held near 70 degrees year-round, Wright designed a house with only outdoor sleeping terraces. Closet space was kept to a strict minimum, which also displeased Wrights client. The correspondence between Wright and Marcus began cordially but ended with Wrights termination when he exceeded the agreed budget of $40,000

1-8

(Marcus, Minding the Store). The estimated cost of the house had reached somewhere between $90,000 to $150,000. [Letters at DMA] The new Marcus house was published first in the magazine Architectural Forum, and later in the book The Modern House in America, Ford 1940 (xx, xxx). The books stated purpose was to explore modern architecture, not as a fad, but as a representation of social and economic values; to highlight houses which exemplify the purposes and spirit, as well as the techniques, of modern architecture (Ford & Ford). The Marcus house was the only house from Texas included by the editors. Roscoe DeWitt had a major influence on the architecture of Dallas. In 1956 he was selected as the architect for the expansion of the Federal Capitol. Locally he is responsible for Woodrow Wilson High School (DeWitt and Lemmon, 1928), Museum of Fine Arts, Fair Park (1936), Cedar Springs Place (DeWitt and Washborn 1937), St. Paul Hospital (1960), and Presbyterian Hospital. The decision to build a contemporary home was a political statement. Modern architecture was a new introduction to Dallas. The Marcus house preceded the only truly contemporary architecture at the 1936 Centennial Exposition, the Lescaze design Magnolia Theater. Howard Meyer began the Tiffert Israel Synagogue in 1936. Within the Lakewood neighborhood the romantic revival styles of Tudor, Italianate, and Spanish dominated. The Marcus house was a unique and singular statement. It reflected Marcus interest in art and architecture. Stanley Marcus would commission Edward Larrabee Barnes, Eeero Saarinen (Roche and Dinkerloo), and Phillip Johnson to execute designs for NiemanMarcus. (Fuller). The political life of Stanley Marcus continued to reflect an alternate Dallas. In 1963 he delivered the introduction for Adlai Stevenson. This was the infamous trip where the former candidate for the presidency was spat upon and struck on the head by a religious protestor outside of the Memorial Auditorium (Marcus p. 250). In the 1960 election the store lost many charge accounts because of Marcus very visible support of John F. Kennedy. As a result of his support, he was appointed to the National Cultural Center Board and to Jacqueline Kennedys Committee for the Acquisition of Painting for the White House. Following the assassination, on New Years Day 1964, Marcus published a full page ad Whats Right with Dallas. (Marcus 257). This was contrary to the editorials that proclaimed Dallas as the city of hate. The home became an extension for the store and the dignitaries that were associated with the store including Fortnight. The formal dinners at the house would include guest from royalty Grace Kelly and the Prince of Monaco, Princess Alexandra of Great Britain and her uncle Lord Mountbatten, Prince Albert and Princess Paola of Belgium, the Queen of Thailand; fashion designers Pierre Balmain, Christian Dior, Estee Lauder, Elsa Schaparelli, Jerry Lewis, Eleanor Roosevelt, Norman Norrell, Bill Blass, Emilio Pucci, Roberts DeCamerino, Valentino, Mark Bohan, Yves St. Laurent, Manuel Ungaro, Givenchy, Salvatore Ferragammo, Lucien Lelong, Bjorn Wiinblad, Judith Leiber, Armi Ratiaand Tai Missoni; politicos included Lyndon B. Johnson (Senator, Vice President, and President), Bruno Kreisky (PM Austria), Ambassador Henri Bonet (France), and Vice-President Nelson Rockefeller. Rockefeller wanted to compare their similar art collections (Letter of Stanley Marcus March 3, 1994). The modern design, unique to 1930s Dallas, reflects the progressive attitude of Stanley Marcus in art and politics. The house designed by Roscoe DeWitt remains a stark contrast to the houses of Lakewood and remains an elegant contemporary home despite its additions in the 1950s and 1970s making the 9,000 square-foot home closer to 10,000 square feet. The present owners, Mark and Patty Lovvorn, bought the house from Stanley Marcus in 1994 who died later in 2002 at the age of 96 (The New York Times, 2002). The Lovvorns listed the house as a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 2002.
