2026 Capitol Hill House & Garden Tour

The annual Capitol Hill House & Garden Tour was held on Mother’s Day weekend, May 9-10, 2026. This year’s tour highlighting the southeast side of Capitol Hill, with its lovely parks and even older homes.

Spring Poetry Invitational

The snow is gone. The Muse has descended and actually found a parking space. So, for April, which is National Poetry Month, she invites local Baudelaires and Emily Dickinsons to submit brief poems to CHRS celebrating our lives and houses on Capitol Hill.

For 70 years, CHRS has worked to protect one of the oldest and most architecturally vibrant communities in the city.
