After two years of Covid restrictions, the 46th Annual Lakewood Home Tour is back “in-person” this year featuring six neighborhood homes.
Among the homes available to tour Nov. 12-13:
• An iconic 1926 Dines and Kraft on Westlake
• A 1924 Georgian on Gaston
• A timeless Tudor on Lakewood Boulevard
• A reinvented 1920s Cape Cod on Wildgrove
• A majestic Mediterranean on Velasco
If you sign up for the limited-ticket candlelight portion of the tour (Saturday, Nov. 12, from 7-9:30 p.m.), you’ll have a chance to see a bonus home: a 1954 Mid-Century Modern designed by Dallas’ Earle Grady Hamilton, a founding partner of the Omni Plan and best-known for designing NorthPark Center.
