The King's Highway Conservation District is located in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas (USA). The district is bounded by Stewart Drive on the north, Davis Street on the south, Tyler Street on the east and Mary Cliff Road on the west. It is in Dallas Council District 1.
The conservation district was established in 1988 by Dallas Ordinance 19910, and governs zoning, renovations and replacements, setbacks, etc. Replacement houses are required to meet standards making them similar to the surrounding houses and houses of the period, discouraging teardowns and preventing modern suburban-style architecture.
By land-area, the district primarily contains single family residential homes in Craftsman, Prairie, Eclectic, and Tudor styles. Duplexes and multifamily residential structures are also present, especially along the portion of the Kings Highway near Polk Street.
King's Highway was established as a conservation district in 1988 and was the first of its kind to be established in Dallas.
