The 38th Annual Historic Homes Tour - Fort Collins, CO
September 17, 2022 |
Poudre
Landmarks Foundation’s annual Historic Homes Tour returns to in-person on
Saturday, September 17, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This late-summer event opens five
private residences and two historic city-owned properties to tour guests. This
year’s tour is a Midcentury Modern extravaganza featuring five lovingly
restored and decorated homes of the era, plus the city-owned 1879 Avery House
and 1883 Water Works! The tour centers around the charming Midcentury Fort
Collins neighborhood on Meeker Dr. and Buckeye, near the original Water Pik
building. The neighborhood is south of E. Pitkin St. between Pitkin and
Prospect. The Avery House is accessible from the Mountain Avenue trolley.
Guests visit the homes and travel between tour properties at their own pace and
in any order. Knowledgeable docents guide attendees through each location,
pointing out architectural features, historical highlights, and details about
how each home has been preserved and upgraded over the years.
