Take advantage of a unique opportunity to visit eight homes built by Robert Rummer. These iconic “atomic age” houses are highly sought after and those on tour include some in virtually original condition and others that have been updated. An illustrated lecture by Jack Bookwalter will present an overview of mid-century residential architecture as context for the work of Rummer and Eichler. Mr. Rummer himself will be in attendance to answer questions.

Saturday, May 21, 10am - 4pm

Tour goers will appreciate walking the streets of perhaps the best example of a mid-century planned community in the Northwest. Encompassing 265 acres, Oak Hills was designed to foster an exceptional sense of community and affordable quality of life, and included a school, recreation center, church, and open space to serve residents.

The Rummer/Oak Hills House Tour is a fund raiser benefiting the preservation programs of the HPLO and the Oak Hills Neighborhood Association’s efforts to seek listing on the National Register of Historic Places.

Purchase tickets online through Paypal Tickets will be available for online purchase in March. We've been out to scout these wonderful homes. It's fascinating to see how each person interprets their Rummer. All the owners loved their homes and we all left just a little bit jealous.  Visit http://www.historicpreservationleague.org/Event.php.
