Highland Park home developer Blair Pogue of Blantyre Homes is pictured with his wife, Cristin, at 4400 Belfort Place during a gathering for a few of his friends and members of the design team that created the home as the finishing elements of the home are being completed.

Blair Pogue of Blantyre Homes is a native of Highland Park who has developed a home with the type of Highland Park homebuyer in mind that he grew up with. Rather than relying on generic contemporary styles that are currently so commonplace, Blair Pogue selected the Spanish Revival style that evokes the best of Highland Park. This Spanish Revival style includes a little bit of Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean style elements. The avant-garde and affluent in the 1920s selected the Spanish Revival style for their homes, and the avant-garde and affluent desire this style today.

Blair and Cristin Pogue are standing on the parterre that surrounds the pool and pool house that is linked to the main house by a covered walkway. They are looking over a large expanse of gardens and terraced lawn.

Maybe most importantly, Blair Pogue recognized that a great appeal of Highland Park is its large lots interspersed with parks and parkways. Having been raised around the corner from 4400 Belfort Place, Blair Pogue recognized that a nearly one-acre lot on the corner of Belfort Place and Armstrong Parkway is considered the best of Highland Park – the privacy of Belfort Place and the forested parkway presence of Armstrong Parkway. Few realize that there are only 36 lots that are one acre or larger in Highland Park. When so many new homes are being built in Highland Park, it is refreshing to see a developer like Blair Pogue of Blantyre Homes to develop a home with the architectural grace and precision of 4400 Belfort Place. This Spanish Revival style home certainly fulfills Blair Pogue’s goal of elevating the architectural landscape of Highland Park while building on its earlier traditions.

It was great fun to join real estate attorney John Reoch and Blair Pogue at 4400 Belfort Place. I helped John Reoch and his wife buy their first home in Dallas when they moved from Philadelphia decades ago. John Reoch’s first client was the legendary developer Mack Pogue, who founded Lincoln Properties. Before John Reoch retired, his last transaction he worked on was the acquisition of the nearly one-acre lot at 4400 Belfort Place where Blair Pogue has developed this home. John Reoch, who has owned several architecturally significant homes, was delighted to see the success of this home that Blair Pogue has developed.
