High Profile in Print
Opening the Dallas Morning News and seeing the Sarah Hepola high-profile feature on Blair Pogue, Mack Pogue and 4400 Belfort Place was a thrill. Opening a newspaper and seeing a story on a friend or a project—maybe one’s quote in print—is so much different than reading it online. It’s the difference between receiving a handwritten note on an engraved card versus reading the same sentiment in an email. I admit going to 7-Eleven to buy a couple of extra copies is something I can’t resist when I’m included in the feature.
I have always loved the Dallas Morning News high-profile section in its many iterations over the years, but never more than when Sarah Hepola writes it. I always learn more about Dallas through the lens of the people she profiles. Sure, I learn a lot about the interesting and talented people, but what is fascinating is how this diverse mosaic of people makes Dallas the most successful, open and vibrant city. Conformity is scorned; innovation and contributions to Dallas are celebrated.
In this piece, we learn about Mack Pogue—an iconic Dallas figure many revere and many have never heard of. We learn about Blair’s talented brothers and, most of all, we learn about Blair and the incredible mark he has made developing an architecturally significant home in Highland Park. He formed and directed the design team of Larry Boerder, Harold Leidner and Margaret Chambers. The home’s fresh approach and timeless appeal celebrate open modernity and materials inspired by best homes over centuries.
I have offered many architecturally significant homes in my career, but offering this home brings a whole new level of excitement. It is easy to see why Sarah Hepola embraced the idea about Blair—‘A great man makes good.’ And it’s also easy to see why so many 7-Elevens quickly sold out of this Sunday issue of DMN featuring Blair Pogue on the full-page cover of the Arts & Life section. Does anyone have an extra copy?
