This Weekend: House Tours Galore!
Something about the holidays just makes us want to look at beautifully decorated old homes! Luckily, this weekend, there are many chances to do just that in Bucks County:
Doylestown
175 East Oakland Avenue, Doylestown
Begun in 1992, the annual tour has become a cherished Christmas tradition for the Central Bucks community. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church shares the proceeds of the House Tour & Boutique with the Bucks County Housing Group, to benefit the Doylestown homeless shelter in its battle against homelessness in Central Bucks. This year’s tour features borough homes in four distinctly different neighborhoods. They were built during a span of more than a century, and each has been renovated from its original floor plan. Ticket price includes admission to the four homes and Tea back at the parish hall. Advance tickets may be purchased for $20 through Thursday Dec. 1 at the church office at the corner of Pine St. and E. Oakland Ave., FX Dougherty, 64 S. Main St., or online at www.bchg.org. Tickets may be purchased on tour days for $25 at the parish hall 5 to 9 p.m. Dec. 2 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Dec. 3.
The parish hall is also home to the Holiday Boutique, which opens one hour before the Tour begins. Admission to the Boutique is free. Offerings include fresh greens, Saint Paul’s famous boxed butter cookies, plain & fancy baked goods, raffles, and a Christmas Attic filled with bargains on gently used holiday decorations.
