Preservation Durham Home Tour May 21 and 22 - Don't Miss It!

 

Preservation Durham will offer a home tour this spring. This tour is
designed to highlight excellent recent renovations of historic homes and to
champion the preservation choices of their owners.  Houses included are
located all over Durham and represent a number of styles and periods.   The
architects, designers, and contractors responsible for the work will be
showcased.  Preservation can mean a lot of things and the homes on tour will
demonstrate that.  

 

Just to whet your interest, the tour will include the Giles Latta House in
northern Durham County.  The oldest portion of this house was built in 1850.
The house and its period outbuildings have been saved from ruin by new
owners.  Also, we will show you a wonderful conversion of an historic garage
into a thoughtful personal eerie in a garden setting.  The tour includes a
couple of century-old  worker's cottages preserved for another century of
useful life.  There is a cluster of beautiful homes just north of downtown,
all of them designed by the same important Durham architects, but now saved
by new owners each with their own idea about what preservation can be.  Your
will want to see them.

 

Perhaps the star of the tour will be the magnificent Hill House on South
Duke Street.  Designed in the Spanish Mission Style for Durham
philanthropists John Sprunt Hill and his wife Annie Watts Hill.  This house
has just emerged from a painstaking restoration.  Seldom opened to the
public,  the Hill House is wonderful to see and not to be missed.

 

The tour is scheduled for the weekend of May 21 and 22, from noon until 4
p.m. each day.  Your ticket will include both days so you can visit all the
houses at your own pace.  Tour-goer will receive a tour booklet describing
each house and its history.  To buy tickets, click on this Eventbrite link:

architecture in tours like this for more than twenty-five years.  Mark your
calendars.  It'll be fun!  This event will conform to all covid guidelines.
