Tour of homes spotlights Oak Cliff
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Heritage Oak Cliff’s premiere event DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writer Taffet@DallasVoice.com Built on a heavily wooded two-acre lot in southern Oak Cliff, the house owned by David Cooper and Allen Haskell is one of the 10 featured in this year’s Heritage Oak Cliff tour of homes, happening Oct.
26-27. Two commercial properties are also included on this year’s tour, as well as a bonus home built on the edge of the cliff overlooking downtown.
Cooper and Haskell said they were excited to be included in this year’s tour, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the event (due to the pandemic, however, this is only the 47th tour).
Their home is in the Brettonwoods neighborhood, just south of the better-known and heavily gay Kiestwood neighborhood. Until the ranches that existed on the land south of Kiest Boulevard were sold off and subdivided in the 1960s, horses and cattle were raised in this area of Oak Cliff.
