The first homes tour, held in 1977, was a walking tour
designed to educate participants about the architecture and history of
Hyde Park. And for this year's homes tour, we return to that beginning.
In addition to visiting the seven homes on the tour, enjoy a walk or a
horse-drawn carriage ride through the neighborhood. Along the way, stop
and listen to the musicians

and storytellers and appreciate the work of various artists.
While today the neighborhood encompasses not only
the original Hyde Park subdivision between 38th and 45th Street, but
also the northern Hyde Park Annex from 45th to 51st Street, for this
tour we are focusing on the older section of the neighborhood south of
45th. The construction dates of six the six historic homes featured on
the tour range from 1892 to 1935, and the seventh home was constructed
this year. These homes represent various types of architecture including
Victorian and bungalows.
In the early years of the Association, we were
struggling to save our neighborhood and its historic homes. This year,
in celebrating the AssociationŐs thirtieth anniversary, the tour is a
remarkable display of neighborhood pride showing what we have
accomplished in the course of those thirty years.
This event is HPNA's main fundraising event of the year.
The proceeds of the tour are earmarked for furthering the neighborhood's
historic preservation efforts and the quality of living in Central Austin.
We would like to express

our sincere appreciation to the homeowners who generously invited us
into their homes; to Alan, his leadership team, and all of the other
volunteers; and to our generous sponsors. To all, Happy Touring!
