Ebby’s Iconic Little White House Gets Makeover


Ebby’s Iconic Little White House Gets Makeover
One of Dallas’ most recognizable landmarks recently received a major upgrade.

 

“While the exterior of Ebby’s Little White House at the corner of Northwest Highway and Preston Road still looks very familiar to the thousands of people who drive by daily, inside our valued clients, Associates and staff members are enjoying a brand-new, beautiful environment,” says Keith Newman, the office’s sales manager.

 

When the Little White House was built several miles north of downtown Dallas in 1926 it was surrounded only by fields. By 1939, enough people lived nearby – almost 800 – that the area incorporated as the Town of Preston Hollow and the building briefly doubled as its town hall.

 

Ebby Halliday bought the property in 1964 for approximately $100,000 and spent almost $50,000 repairing and remodeling the structure before making it her signature office.

 

While it’s the oldest building for miles around, Ebby’s Little White House today features a just-completed, beautiful interior with the latest technology. Below are just a few recent photos taken recently inside this Dallas landmark.

Preston Center Office Expands into New Space


 

Members of Ebby’s Preston Center Office and company executives gathered Thursday to “break ground” on a new 10,000-square-foot office at 8333 Douglas Ave. Across the street from the Park Cities Hilton and next door to The Shelton high-rise, the new office will be in a more prominent location of the same Preston Center building in which Ebby Halliday Realtors has had a 4,100-square-foot office for 38 years. It will open October 1.

 

“This high-visibility, contemporary office is being built for the future,” says Ron Burgert, chief financial officer of the Ebby Halliday Companies, which includes Ebby Halliday Realtors and Dave Perry-Miller & Associates, as well as the firm’s affiliates, Texas Premier Title, Home Team Insurance and Home Team Mortgage Company. It offers an exceptional location and is a statement of our commitment to serving Dallas and the Park Cities for years to come.”

 

The project’s architect is Michael Twichell. Its designer is Gary Owens.

 

The new Preston Center Office will offer cutting-edge technology, including four conference rooms with Apple TVs and a training room with all-new computers. The space will also include private offices for top-producing agents, premium desk space near windows, a large agent workroom, a spacious sitting room and a kitchen and separate dining area.

 

“Our new office offers experienced, high-quality agents a sophisticated atmosphere and the latest technology in a much-sought-after Preston Center location,” says Ginger Gill, who has been the sales manager of the Preston Center Office for the past four years. “All of us at the Ebby Halliday Companies are excited about this significant, long-term commitment to this premier Dallas neighborhood.”
