Considerably more houses are included on the 1978 House Tour than has been the pattern in past years. The ten residences, which will be open from noon until 5:00 p.m. on May 14, illustrate the variety of housing types, styles, and sizes in Skinker-DeBaliviere. There is an apartment, a flat, a convent, and seven houses, some of which have been extensively rehabbed or modernized, others of which have .required less alteration.
As in the past, bus transportation will be provided for “house tourists” as part of the ticket price. That price has been raised to $1.50 this year in order to help cover increasing costs. This year’s House Tour Committee was chaired by Mary Jo Consiglio with Roberta Nehring. Members included Tom Hoerr, Rick Lake, Neville Vatcha, Arlene Webb, and Marj Weir.
Each of the residences on the tour is described below in more detail. Photographs were done by Suzanne Johnson and King Schoenfeld.
