THE HOUSE OF THE MONTH, 6131 Westminster, was rehabbed in 1977. It features exposed brick walls, a deluxe bathroom with sunken tub, attractive kitchen, and skylights in a open third floor loft. The house is for sale through Ortbal Realtors. The Times of Skinker-DeBaliviere, December 1985, page 5. Photographer not credited.
6116 Westminster was designed by architectlbuilder T. C. Lee in the Arts & Crafts style in 1913. When it was gut rehabbed, traditional features were creatively combined with a dynamic floor plan which includes a two-story living room to make a very unique and attractive house. The Times of Skinker-DeBaliviere, December 1985, page 5. Photographer not credited.6133 Westminster was built in 1908 by architects Godfrey & Hirsch and it may be one of the smallest houses in the neighborhood. However, it certainly is one of the most charming with an open floor plan and a fireplace in the kitchen eating area. The Times of Skinker-DeBaliviere, December 1985, page 5. Photographer not credited.6160 Westminster, built by architect/builder A. A. Fischer in 1910, was on last year's tour and was such a success that the owner was asked to share the house again this year. Among other decorations, there is a wonderful wreath collection.

Lee who was active in the Rosedale and Parkview neighborhoods. The present owners have redone the kitchen and built an addition which features a window from a house demolished for a parking lot on the 6100 block of McPherson. They also have a large collection of antique ornaments and toys. Photo by King Schoenfeld. The Times of Skinker-DeBaliviere, December 1985, page 6.Built in 1910 by architect/builder A. A.
