F.Q. Story District Historic Home Tour

The F.Q. Story Historic District held it’s 23rd Annual Home Tour & Gift Sale on December 1st and 2nd.  Saturday evening featured Dickens Carolers and glowing luminaries.  Since the weather was damp (read: raining ALL day & night), I attended the Home Tour during Sunday afternoon.  However, I heard that the neighborhood has 300-400 people visit Saturday evening!  I still think that the area is best viewed in daylight.  In addition to 10 homes inviting tour go-ers to see inside their piece of Phoenix history, the 1920’s neighborhood hosted a large holiday bazaar in the streets with crafts, food and sweets.  Tickets to see the 10 homes were $15 dollars.  Some homes for sale in the area held open houses.  The entire Portland Street was blocked off and the 10 homes made for a very very nice walk.  There was also a free trolley available but it was so nice out, I walked.  Enjoy the pictures, leave a comment and mark your calendars for next year’s F.Q. Story’s tour on December 6th and 8th, 2008.
