Homes Tour 2005: "Front Porch Friendly"
T hat will be the theme for this year's Homes Tour on Father's Day Weekend, June 18 and 19. Hyde Park Neighborhood Association would like to welcome everyone far and wide to join this year's Homes Tour on the neighborhood's most celebrated weekend. Once again carriages will travel the streets of Hyde Park and people will stroll the sidewalks from house to house visiting with neighbors and friends and welcoming them with our front porch friendliness.

Although the stroll from one house to the other along the route
will be easy, there will also be the added attraction of horse-drawn
carriages to carry guests. This year the carriages will be available at no
cost to tourgoers. The tour will once again diagonally cross the Hyde Park National Register District, but this year the tour will start at Baker School at 40th and Avenue B, and go to the Elisabet Ney Museum. Built in 1911, by the Austin School District, it was Hyde Park's school. Now |
being used by the school district as headquarters for many support
programs , this starting point will enable us to involve many of the
schools that our children attend. Children's activities and
entertainment will happen along the complete route, but special events
will happen at Baker School and the Elisabet Ney Museum. The first house on the tour will be the Sears King House at 209 W. 39th, Built in the 1890's. Reverend Henry M. Sears was Chaplain Continued on page 3
