Each
year since 1995 approximately a dozen different homeowners in
Grandview Heights have opened their homes to the public for
the neighborhood’s annual Historic Home Tour.
The
Home Tour offers visitors a unique opportunity to step inside
historic homes in the neighborhood and meet the creative owners.
Grandview Heights boasts historic properties in a variety of
architectural styles, with Craftsman Bungalow and Spanish Mission
styles dominating. Neighborhood residents bring many different
backgrounds and perspectives to their homes and to the neighborhood.
The
Home Tour highlights the immense diversity of Grandview Heights
and demonstrates that an urban neighborhood can successfully
include and engage a disparate population.
The
afternoon event includes a full buffet dinner and a live band,
giving attendees a chance to mingle, discuss the day and enjoy
the relaxed Grandview Heights ambiance.
The 2012 Grandview Heights Historic Home Tour was held on April 1st.
