Mark your calendar! Historic Homes for the Holidays tour coming soon

Hi, friends. I am working hard to pull together the second Historic Homes for the Holidays tour with a lineup of 10 houses you haven’t seen before, and I couldn’t be more excited. The tour is scheduled for Dec. 6 and 7, and you will not want to miss it. (For info on last year’s tour, click here.)

Today is your chance to nominate a home you think should be included in the tour. I am not looking for your dream list of houses; rather, I want those of you with beautiful old houses (or those of you who know someone willing to open his or her home) to share a few details with me as I finalize the roster.

Here’s the information I’m after:

• Homeowner name(s)
• Year of construction (I hope to include only houses built before 1940)
• Home style
• Original features
• Additions (as in additions built onto the original house)
• Why would this home show well?

Please email your nomination to rlpyper123@gmail.com and attach a house photo.

Thanks in advance for your help, and I look forward to seeing you in December. •
