Architectural Diversity Takes Center Stage
2015 Home Tour & Street Fair Highlights Park Hill Designs; All-Day Street Fair Open To All
By Nina Kuhl, Home Tour Organizer
Denver’s Park Hill Neighborhood is noted for its architectural diversity. The Park Hill Home Tour provides a rare opportunity to see the architecture up close and explore seven fabulous homes on Sunday, Sept. 27.
This year the Park Hill Home Tour is capitalizing on the variety of architecture that can be found in the historic neighborhood. The tour includes a renovated Craftsman, a church turned single-family home, and three mid-century homes designed by Edwin Hawkins, a nationally recognized designer and developer.
Also that day, the Park Hill Street Fair will include more than 100 vendors offering great food, beer & wine garden, live music, crafts, classic cars and children’s activities. The Street Fair is on Forest Parkway between Montview Boulevard and 17th Avenue and admission is free. Vendors will be composting, recycling and powering up via solar generators courtesy of SolaRover.
Both the home tour and the street fair run from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Advance Home Tour ticket sales for the home tour begin Sept. 1 at several local businesses and online at www.parkhillhometour.org. Tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for seniors and children (7-12). Children under 7 are free. Tickets purchased the day of the event increase by $5. All proceeds benefit the Greater Park Hill Community, Inc, a nonprofit organization that supports neighborhood programs including a food pantry, the Greater Park Hill News, and neighborhood events.
