Four Home Tours Not to Miss This Year
Plus, we highlight some of the most inspiring architects and architecture in Dallas.
April may be the most epic month for home tours in Dallas, but architecture and design lovers have the opportunity to witness our city’s most striking homes throughout the year. Here, we rounded up a few annual events you’ll want to plug into your calendar.
Park Cities Historic and Preservation Society | April 14
This annual home tour takes place in, you guessed it, the Park Cities each spring. The event is also paired with a luncheon at the Dallas Country Club as well as a classic and antique car show.
Lakewood Home Tour | November 2018
Benefiting the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA, the tour is part of the greater Lakewood Home Festival each fall, which also includes an auction party. Don’t miss the candlelight tour on Saturday night.
AIA Dallas Tour of Homes | October 20 + 21
The American Institute of Architects knows how to put on a home tour. The fall’s tour features seven stunning homes. Buy tickets for the whole tour, or buy a reduced ticket for just one.
