Yes, the Degolyer home was built in 1940 with many acres of gardens/land around it. The Degolyer children gave the estate and the gardens to SMU who later sold the home and gardens to the city of Dallas. In 1977, the City of Dallas Park Board recommended that the grounds of the DeGolyer Estate, which the city purchased from Southern Methodist University, be the official location of the botanical garden. The other historic house is called the Camp house for the people who built it and lived there. Eventually The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden was opened in 1984.
