James Pratt (1927–2018) practiced architecture under various firm names, including James Pratt Architecture and Urban Design. Son of a genealogist librarian and a frontier banker, Pratt was fascinated by the nearly forgotten nineteenth-century La Réunion immigrants who introduced their culture to Dallas, Texas. As founder of the La Réunion research project at the Dallas Historical Society, Pratt traveled extensively to ferret out the story of this failed experiment. He is coauthor of The Prairie’s Yield: Forces Shaping Dallas Architecture from 1840 to 1962 and Environmental Encounter: Experiences in Decision-Making for the Built and Natural Environment.
