The Flatbush Victorian House Tour is not only fascinating, it's also a good opportunity to support the Flatbush Development Corporation. Here's their description of the event:
It’s almost here! Don’t forget to join FDC on Sunday, June 9th from 1:00pm to 6:00pmfor the 2013 Victorian Flatbush House Tour! Tour participants are afforded a rare opportunity to view the interiors of the neighborhood’s marvelous homes, celebrating the skilled workmanship and architecture of the past.
The tour will feature homes that exhibit a wide range of architectural styles, from Colonial Revival to Tudor to Greek Revival. While most interiors have been carefully restored to honor their original designs, others have been renovated with a modern design sensibility, producing an exciting mix of classic and contemporary styles. In addition to the unique architectural details, the original homeowners and residents weave stories of history and intrigue into the neighborhoods. The tour also includes a mid-point rest stop with refreshments and in conjunction “Art and Craft In The Garden,” will be present featuring a hand-picked selection of accomplished artisans. Their work is diverse and beautiful, ranging from fine art to contemporary jewelry, hand-constructed men’s and women’s clothing and hats, scarves and handmade wooden toys.
Of Flatbush’s many annual events, The House Tour is one of the community’s most popular. Come out and join in the celebration of Flatbush’s rich cultural history, and support the FDC programs that help the community thrive. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 on the day of tour. The tour will continue rain or shine, and a tour bus is available for transport between the houses, though you can also walk or bike. To order tickets, email victoriantour@fdconline.org .
