The jewel of Swiss Avenue
Mary Ellen Bendtsen’s mansion is no typical tour house
STORY BY RACHEL STONE
PHOTOS BY CAITY COLVARD
One stop on the Swiss Avenue Mother’s Day Home Tour this year is not like the others.
It lacks the manicured lawn, the expensivefurniture,theartand antiques, the updated kitchen, the care of an exacting owner.
Once upon a time, the home at 4949 Swiss was known as the jewel of Swiss Avenue.
That was back when Mary Ellen Bendtsenwas a famousyoung model, blonde, blue-eyed and beautiful, the leggy girl who played piano and dazzled Dallas.
Thisjewel,withthreeRookwood fireplaces on the ground floor and a ballroom mirror the size of a billboard, was the center of Bendtsen’s identity.Shelivedtherefor55 years.
Butitbeganfallingintodisrepair in the 1960s, and by the time Bendtsen died in 2005, the house was a shambles.
Call it the Dallas version of Grey Gardens.
Except the story of 4949 Swiss and Mary Ellen Bendtsen is more sinLEFT/The house at 4949 Swiss has three Rookwood fireplaces on the ground floor.
