The 1973 House Tour features 6 homes in the Skinker-DeBaliviere area. The tour will begin at 12:30 p.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. This year two buses will shuttle between the tour homes which should eliminate waiting. This bus service will be free as before. Tickets for the tour ($1.00 per person) will be available at each residence and at a table on the barricade at Rosedale and Kingsbury. Also on sale at tour residences will be “The Neighborhood,” a history of our area.
Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Millsap — 6212 Waterman
The Millsaps’ large 10 room home is unusual in several ways. All the rooms on the first floor are arranged off a long marble-tile hallway running from the front to the rear of the house and ending in an enclosed porch for informal entertaining. Another unusual feature is the sunken solarium which is attached to the living room. It provides another area for entertaining or conversation. The stairway and upstairs halls are papered with bright poppies. This cheerful tone is maintained in the bedrooms.
Cathy and Jim Hammond — 6140 McPherson
The Hammonds have used the popular eclectic approach in decorating their 10 room home. The traditional features found in all homes in this area are quite compatible with the bold modern designs and styles the Hammonds have chosen for decoration. Cathy Hammond points out that they were able to move from a 2-room apartment to this house without buying any additional furniture. The living room demonstrates one way they accomplished this. Of particular interest in this home are the temple rubbings from Cambodia and a hand-painted Indonesian batik table cloth which Cathy Hammond collected while in the Peace Corps in Southeast Asia.
Don and Marilyn Wells — 6101-3 Washington, 2nd floor East
The Wells’ apartment is truly individual. The mural on the living room wall, inspired by a novel, “Stranger in a Strange Land,” was painted by Mr. Wells. Bright colors, posters, and decorating improvisation make this apartment especially interesting.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert A. Newsham — 6142 Kingsbury
There is no wasted space in the lovely 12-room home of Betty and Bob Newsham and their nine children. At the same time it has a spacious airy atmosphere. It’s not hard to tell that Betty’s color preference runs to yellows and blues. The dining room, featuring an enormous bay window accented by curtains in a lively blue floral pattern, is especially charming. Some items to notice particularly are the mantle and clock in the living room and the antique wardrobe in the 2nd floor hall.
Gene and Karen Hanacek — 6103 Westminster Pl.
The Hanaceks’ 8-room corner home features four French doors in the living room opening onto a long porch with an old-fashioned swing. The dark unpainted woodwork throughout the house is very attractive, especially in the dining room. Visitors should not miss the massive Victorian bedroom furniture on the second floor. Hanaceks have decorated their home with a very appealing simplicity using furniture harmonious with the period of the house which shows it off to good advantage.
Bruce and Nancy Agneberg — 6136 Waterman, 1st floor
The Agnebergs’ 5 room apartment reflects an interest in art and color. The dining room is done in warm pastels with two paintings by an Art Fair exhibitor. The two French doors in the living room are draped in a bold brown, black, and white pattern offering both privacy and a unifying focus for the room. The Agnebergs have used the “exposed brick” motif in a somewhat different way in their kitchen. Nostalgia and antique buffs will be intrigued by the old song sheets which the Agnebergs have framed for their entry hall.
