Historic Wilmington Foundation's Post Thanksgiving House Tour
November 30, 2014 |
This year's 20th annual Post Thanksgiving Tour features the beautiful Blake House, 202 Castle Street, owned by Norm Robinson and Hannah Vaughan.
The Blake House is a Neoclassical Revival style house built for John William Blake (1884-1933), electrical contractor; and wife Bessie Barr (1890-1990). The original light fixtures he installed are still intact. The house sold in 1920 and the property changed hands many times. In 1979 it was purchased by the Historic Wilmington Foundation and saved for preservation. The current owners donated an preservation easement for the house to HWF.
The Tour is an in-depth look at the architecture and history of the house led by Ed Turberg, Architectural Historian and Foundation volunteer. The tour is free for members and non-members pay $10. A reception follows the tour.
