THE 2014 CAPITOL HILL HOUSE AND GARDEN TOUR: May 10 & 11
This Mother’s Day, come explore Our Homes, Our Gardens and Our History
Saturday May 10 from four to seven p.m.
Sunday May 11 from twelve until five p.m.

Mother’s Day Weekend. Mothers (and Fathers) coming to visit? Children (and grandchildren) coming to visit? Give them a tour of the Hill. Show them how the Hill has evolved from its largely Victorian roots to a more modern brand of living. No horses in the carriage houses (but some very nice cars). No wood stoves left to care for, but some excellent kitchens straight out of Vogue (and other design magazines). Baths too! Visit the twelve homes (and a garden) on the 57th Annual Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour. It is a walkable mile and quarter between 3rd and Ninth streets east and Constitution south to Independence.

Several of the owners have lived and traveled extensively overseas and their décor, from paintings and lithographs to wall hangings and furniture represents the places they have lived and visited.

Almost half of the homes have been very recently and extensively renovated which means that there will a number of new bathrooms and kitchens on display along with information about architects, craftsmen and appliances.

The gardens include one with an unusually large pond, a carefully designed rear garden developed by the owner, who is a landscape designer by training, and a garden which is large enough to share fences with seven other properties. There is a green roof garden on a carriage house that is open for those who wish to visit. The homes:                                  2014 Catalog of Homes & Gardens (10.8MB)
