This year some interesting homes are on the tour, what is now the Austin State Hospital and a very modern conversion on Avenue H. I have to admit, its a REALTORS love of homes and its curiosity to see what’s behind those doors that drives me. Though Avenue H home has so much glass I’ve seen half of what’s in that house just walking by….public advantage to contemporary architecture right?

The historic homes tour is sponsored by Hyde Park Neighborhood Association. Hyde Park’s beauty and preservation is due in large part to this organization that has set forth a mission since the 1970’s to make sure this fantastic central Austin neighborhood is taken care of and its history is kept in tact.
