Glamour at the Alexander Mansion
The Alexander Mansion (built in 1904) was the residence of three prominent Dallas families (Alexanders, Clarks, and Blairs) before becoming the home of the Dallas Woman’s Forum in 1930.
With such a rich history, it’s not hard to imagine the splendor of the celebrations hosted by the earlier owners and the women of the Forum. Picture the many guests, throughout its history, who walked across this grand front porch to attend a glamourous event at the Alexander Mansion.
The vintage elegance of the 1930s is a perfect way to remind us of the early days of the Mansion and Forum. Please join us for a glamorous evening of your own in support of this iconic architectural Dallas gem.
The Alexander Mansion comes alive at night with glittering festivities, music, and dancing!
