The architectural design of a curved brick wall is attributed to the Egyptians but is commonly seen in the English countryside and referred to as crinkle crankle walls. This type of curved construction provides stability without the use of buttresses and requires less material. This wall offers aesthetics that provide for an elegant and beautiful wall which has come to signify a culturally significant landmark for the Preston Hollow Neighborhood.
Many of the Pink Wall neighborhood properties that were developed behind the wall are still standing and are still some of the more affordable spacious condominium communities in Dallas.
Some of the properties that were original to the neighborhood that you can see today are the Seville, Royal Arms, Diamond Head, Imperial House (designed by architect George Dahl), the Jaguar, Preston Tower, The Athena, and others. Take a drive through our lovely neighborhood and enjoy the abundance of trees, green spaces, and mid-century modern construction. Just look for the curvy pink wall along Northwest Highway between Edgemere and Preston.
