T Please plan to attend our 28th annual Hyde Historic Homes Tour this Fathers' Day weekend. Better yet, volunteer to be a docent or help in some other way(s). We anticipate that this tour will be one of the best ever. We would like to thank Alan Marburger for his leadership and hard work to make this year's tour possible.

    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
