Bum Bright’s Old House Razed
Bum Bright’s former Lakeside Drive pad, seen here, has been torn down. It’s a corner lot, so I assume a CVS is going up.

Or a bank.

Just look at all that wasted lawn space. People could be parking there.
Looks like a good spot for a highrise (maybe 25 stories) apartment building to me. Just think of the view across Turtle Creek to the Muse Estate and the Rose’s house,not to mention the view of downtown. I bet those on the north could see the Bush Library. Think HP would go for that?
They may have that Wachovia or Wells Fargo branch up and running within a few weeks. Plenty of drive-thru banking lanes too!!!
As rumors go- a home (???) somewhere near 20,000 sq ft is being built on this corner.
I would point out that the house had been listed for $12 million. I’m not saying that the buyer paid full asking price, but you have to assume it was in the eight-figure range — thereby making it one of the most expensive residential tear-downs in Dallas history.
When did Bum move out of the house? Was it dilapidated?
Don’t flame me…I forgot that he already died, so no need to even read my above post.
I lived in an apartment along Abbott for a few years a few years ago and used to walk past that house all the time, either when going to the pool or just out for a walk. Always wondered who lived there and why, on that huge lot, it survived when everything else around it was being torn asunder. Too bad, I always thought it was a pretty house amongst too many unimaginative rebuilds.
Destroying evidence of another one of Wick’s homes that weren’t noted with a dot?
Troy Aikman is getting a new neighbor. yippee!

I understand the house was in terrible condition and needed to come down. As far as 20,00 square feet .. so be it. The owners should be able to do whatever they wish. I am sure it will be better than the deteriorating stucco preceeding it.
