History of Bryan Place

In the early 1980’s, developer Fox & Jacobs built a neighborly community in the heart of Dallas’ inner city.   Bryan Place was named after Dallas’ founder, John Neely Bryan, and was a bold vision by the developer.  It was the first of such in-town East Dallas neighborhoods in a half-century of mass suburbanization.

Fox & Jacobs sought to recreate a neighborhood of East Dallas’ past, with little traffic, pedestrian friendly streets and elegant homes within an un-walled community.  Even at its conception, the builder was confident there would be lots of revitalization taking place around the neighborhood.
