Elmwood, Oak Cliff is a diverse neighborhood which was once The Tennessee Dairy Farm for many years before becoming single family dwellings. It is now a highly sought out neighborhood with affordable homes, and considered by D Magazine as one of the most desired suburbs in Dallas because of its close proximity to downtown Dallas, great restaurants and entertainment, beautiful mature trees and green ways. My home was built circa 1900 and was the first structure in Elmwood. It has many stories and folklore attached to it and was a speakeasy in the 1920's. It was rumored to be a haunt of Bonnie & Clyde. The cottage was built in the 1940's as guest quarters and has just been renovated to accommodate guests who want more privacy than the quest room in the main house listed under "Sunny Room In Elmwood, Oak Cliff. a cross- street a little east from us was the backdrop for the 1989 film Born On The Fourth of July, directed by Oliver Stone and staring Tom Cruise.
