Non-Profit Use
Rena Aldredge believed strongly in sharing her home with the community. During her time in the House, she regularly hosted social and charity events in her home. She gifted her house to the Dallas County Medical Society Alliance Foundation in 1974 so that the preservation of the House would be ensured and so that the House would continue to be used for civic events that would benefit the community at large.
Continuing this tradition, non-profit organizations are invited to use the House for education
programs and official meetings.
For information about use of the House, contact RuLan Hebeler at AldredgeHouse@gmail.com.
Usage fees for equipment and services may apply.
All events consisting of 40 guests or more require valet service at the expense of the hosting organization.
