Compton Heights House Tour - May 19 & 20

Looking for something different?  Consider going to The Compton Heights House Tour this weekend.

Come tour one of the oldest and best neighborhoods in the city of St. Louis! It was nationally listed as one of the Best Old House Neighborhoods of 2011 by "This Old House Magazine"!

The event will include a dozen architecturally significant houses built between 1891 and 1925 (many on tour for the first time) as well as the first floor and bowling alley of the incomparable Magic Chef Mansion, built by the inventor of the gas cooking stove. The tour will also feature a Biergarten with local beer, local food vendors, and live music from 1 to 4 both Saturday and Sunday.

For an additional $5 charge a cell phone based audio tour may be purchased which will include extra information on the homes open for touring, and architectural and historical information on an additional 12 houses which will not be open to the public (24 houses in all). With the audio tour, this is one of the largest house tours we have ever had! The walking audio tour will highlight many architectural features and offer insight into the era's most notable architects.

Shuttle transportation will be provided between homes for those that would prefer it. Check-in for the tour is at 3521 Hawthorne Blvd – the intersection of Grand Ave, Longfellow Blvd and Hawthorne Blvd.
