Support Beautification
Highland Meadows Neighborhood Association invites you to partner with us as we transform our historic mid-century entrances to the 1955 Lakeland Hills section of Highland Meadows.
Your support will help us create a vibrant landscape that incorporates drought tolerant native grasses into the existing mix of mature trees and shrubs creating a welcoming area for neighbors and guests. The updated landscape will add value to our entire neighborhood, provide a sound barrier and natural habitat, supports bio-diversity, encourages pollinators, and reduces the heat island effect. This is the first step toward unifying landscape at all neighborhood entrances.
Together, we can make this vision a reality…
Special Thanks to our Beautification Partners:
John Angell Real Estate, Michael Thomas & Phillip Groves.

Preserving Tomorrow: Rediscovering Dallas’ Mediterranean Gardens Neighborhood
ADEX / The Architectural and Design Exchange
325 N St Paul St, Suite 150, Dallas, TX 75201
Exhibition: May 6 - July 6, 2025
Gallery Talk: Tuesday, May 13 2025
Preserving Tomorrow invites you to explore the captivating story of Mediterranean Gardens, a pioneering mid-century residential development in East Dallas. The exhibition highlights the vision, innovation, and community spirit that brought this unique neighborhood to life through original archival material, including architectural models, detailed plans, photographs, sales brochures, and news articles.
For the first time, this exhibition will formally document the rich and multi-faceted history of Mediterranean Gardens. Discover the groundbreaking work of J.P. Travis II and his influence on the post-war American skyline, delve into the innovative bioclimatic architectural research of Olgyay + Olgyay, and explore the neighborhood’s distinctive homes crafted by visionary architects. Preserving Tomorrow chronicles a fascinating yet forgotten story in architectural history and provides valuable insights into sustainable design and engineering practices for contemporary audiences. This exhibition paints a vivid picture of a neighborhood that has left an enduring mark on Dallas’ architectural heritage and demonstrates the architect’s value in designing spaces where individuals and communities can thrive.
