D Home Most Beautiful Home In October Architectural Digest
We here at D Home do have good taste, if I may say so myself. Which is why I was not at all surprised to crack open my October Architectural Digest and see a beautiful story on John and Jennifer Eagle’s home, 5243 Park Lane, designed by architect Edward Durell Stone and recently resurrected by Russell Buchanan and David Cadwallader. It’s named as one of our Ten Most Beautiful Homes In Dallas. If you’ve got the October, 2008 ADÂ issue and September DH, check it out… Meantime, I’m going to put a call through to Robert and Jan Crandall, former 5243 Park owners, and see what they think of the article.

I, too, was very pleasantly surprised to see this home in AD. Not surprised because of it’s very deserved status, but because AD is not known for showcasing the fine examples of great architecture we have here in the Lone Star state - the properties they feature are always east-west coast or abroad.
I have been fortunate to be able to tour this beautiful mid-century gem a few times over the years, and was very happy to see that Mr Buchanan and the Eagles took such pains to renovate it such perfection - especially re-installing the famed moated dining platform.
It’s such a shame that more people with the means in Dallas (and Texas as a whole) can not recognize the beautiful post World War II architecture we have and are so relentless in their ego stroking to tear down our history.
Good work to this wonderful team of believers!
