Well-known Asian art collector and mega real estate developer, Trammell Crow, always knew a good piece of real estate when he saw one. Born and raised in Dallas, he didn’t come by his real estate empire through luck or inheritance. He was a driven worker from the age of ten, taking any job he could get and going at it with a vengeance. After high school, he became Dallas’s youngest CPA and it wasn’t until age 33 that he turned toward real estate building warehouses on speculation that eventually turned into the largest real estate holding and management company in the country. Some of his most well-known projects have been the Dallas Market Center, Peachtree Center in Atlanta and the Embarcadero Center in San Francisco. In 1961, he picked this 1914 Tudor-style mansion for his own home. It had been built by Henry Lee Edwards, a wealthy cotton merchant and was designed by Illinois architect C.D. Hill, who had built a number of important buildings in the Dallas area. Located between Preston Road and Turtle creek, there is an oak tree on the property over 100 years old that dates back to the founding of Highland Park.
