Magdalen House Home Tour

Please join us on September 13 for brunch and an inspiring field trip to an East Dallas-based organization that, like us, won an achievement award from Preservation Dallas, AND whose mission is to cure a serious disease that afflicts 1 in 11 women in the U.S.

A house in Peaks Addition, 4513 Gaston, is on the list of 2022 Preservation Dallas awardees, but the home’s recent $3.5 million remodel is about more than aesthetics or preservation.  It is what happens inside the building that is worth seeing during our first DCMSA Fall 2022 gathering.

This beautiful 1904-built estate is home to The Magdalen House, a nonprofit where women have been coming since 1987 seeking treatment of alcoholism.  The house has an important function:  “To give alcoholic women a dignified space to recover from a disease. Where their children can come visit, where they don’t ever have to feel shame because they reached out for help,”

Meet at Aldredge House at 10:45 and we will carpool to the Magdalen House for a tour from 12:00 – 12:30. Please RSVP to wilcox.shana@gmail.com. We hope to see you there. SPACE IS LIMITED.
