Dallas - More than 10 employees from southern Land Company's architecture department in Franklin, Tenn., flew to Dallas and canvassed neighborhoods including Swiss Avenue, Munger Place and the Park Cities, armed with notebooks and cameras. Most enduring architectural styles and re-created at Tucker Hill, an 800-acre master-planned community in Mckinney. New home construction called as "new old house movement" that borrows the architectural grace and attention to detail of earlier is luring prospective homeowners away from Mcmansion styles to houses that look like the ones their grandparents grew up in. Most of the homebuilders focusses on 20th century charm that buyers of new homes are responding to - front porches, period hardware, windows with divided panes - and pairing them with modern amanities like open floor plans. posted
