Dallas Stars

Dallas has more to offer than just the fictional Ewing family—it's also a hotbed of historic homes in a range of styles. The Spanish Eclectic house opening our story on clay roof tiles, designed by local architect Clifford Hutsell for his own use in the 1920s, is but one grand eary 20th-century example.


Home, Home on the Ranch

Want to outfit your mid-century marvel, but aren't sure which furnishings are the best fit? We've got a few suggestions for you, from the decade's famous names to some present-day, era-appropriate offerings.


The Man Behind the Curtain

If you're impressed with the low-slung, rambling house in this issue's Old-House Living story and want to know more about the man who dreamed it up, check out our quick study on Chicago-area architect Edward Humrich.


The Tile Top Ten

Think you know your notable tile-roofed buildings? Check yourself against our Top Ten list, where The Grove Park Inn is but one of many memorable names.



Kitchens and their Cookers

Pictures in the Window

In historic homes, highlighting a room's windows wasn't just about curtains. We explore the tradition of painting decorative scenes onto window shades.




A Kitchen Story

From baking cookies with our mothers to preparing dinner parties for friends, no room in the home seems to evoke precious memories quite like the kitchen. Find out how you can share the story of your own kitchen and become part of Historic New England's America's Kitchens project.


Must-Have Pruning Tools

Ready to get to work on remodeling your old, overgrown apple tree? Before you start plotting which branches to snip, check out our showcase of tools all gardeners should have in their sheds.


Make a Smooth Move

The task of moving a historic house from one location to another is not to be undertaken lightly—but we've got some essential tips that will make the process a lot less stressful.


Have You Seen This House?

While many early mail-order homes often sprung up side by side, making them easy to find and identify, our historians have tracked down one plan that's proved puzzlingly exlusive to locate in the field. We'll tell you how you can help them solve this mystery.
