3^rd Annual Junius Heights Home Tour Nov. 8

The third annual Junius Heights Home Tour will take place on Sunday, November 8 from 11 am-5 pm.  Advance tickets may be purchased for $10.00 at the following locations:  Hacienda on Henderson , Fish City Grill, Whole Foods Market in Lakewood , Another Broken Egg, and the Garden Café. Tickets the day of the tour are $15.00 and may be purchased at the ticket booth in front of Lipscomb School or at any of the homes on the tour.

Six historic homes and a school located in the heart of Junius Heights will be on tour. The houses were built almost 100 years ago when Junius Heights was a new development in the eastern reaches of the city.  Each displays their individual personalities:  some have been updated but retain their historic roots while others maintain their original features stoically.  All the homes have interesting stories to tell:  Luther Brown and his family lived in one of the featured homes on Tremont from the day it was built until he died some forty years later.  Another on Huntley sheltered the Galbraith brothers.  Thomas was a prominent architect who helped design the Texas Hall of State and other Texas Centennial projects.  His brother, Fred, was a Presbyterian cleric who held positions at Oak Cliff, Colonial Hill, and First Presbyterian churches.

The heart of any neighborhood is its school and we are very pleased to have awarding-winning Lipscomb school on tour this year, courtesy of the Lipscomb PTA.  Generations of Dallas residents have graduated from this school and it is seeing a new renaissance of life as the neighborhoods rediscover this school.

There will be live entertainment in front of the Lipscomb School .  The Long Middle School Choir, Restoration Blues, the David Burris Experience and Ann Armstrong and Steven Hughes will be part of the featured entertainment.  In the auditorium, participants are invited to perform on stage with Guitar Hero! There will also be vendors selling arts and crafts and food.  With the holidays coming up, it is a great time to shop for unique gifts!

Support your neighborhood by attending the JH Home Tour.  Since its creation in 2006 by the city council, we have seen a lot of stabilization in the neighborhood.   Junius Heights is the largest historic district in Dallas .
