Dallas Round House Violated
It appears that the unique "dome" has been removed. In an article from November 2009 in the Dallas Observer: A Roundhouse Kick to the Round House, the signature iron trellis has been removed.
Jackie and I visited the round house on a recent trip to the Big D (see Letter from Dallas). Unfortunately we weren't able to tour the home, but we did get a chance to see it up close and walk under the wisteria-covered entrance. At the time that visit was a bit of a letdown- now it's suddenly a cherished memory.
Here are some more photos from that visit (click to view full size)...

That huge mound of green is actually the wisteria covering the steel rods that made up the large trellis.

Jackie called this the Hobbit Hole.
