The annual Capitol Hill House & Garden Tour was held on Mother’s Day weekend, May 9-10, 2026. This year the tour highlighted the southeast side of Capitol Hill, with its lovely parks and even older homes.
The 2026 tour included eight homes, three semi-public buildings and a newly installed native plant garden. Some homes have been part of the tour before but have had fresh and unique updates.
Refreshments from the Capital Candy Jar and Bread Par Avion were offered in the lobby of 507 8th Street SE on Barracks Row, which also operated as tour headquarters. “The 507,” as it is known, serves as an event venue and also the offices of Taoti Creative. The building itself has been many things over the years — some more reputable than others, which we have lots of information about — and we were so pleased to be able to introduce this space to those who have not seen its new iteration.
