Another successful Tour of Homes

_
This weekend just concluded another successful tour of homes for the neighborhood. Kudos to the chair, Deb Camfferman, for organizing the whole event months in advance along with her team and making it all happen last Saturday. Thanks to Carolyn (great brochure!), Kai, Catherine and Brian. To all the homes on the tour, thank you for opening your doors to the many visitors we had and sharing your beautiful abode.

Roser Park was the first section of St. Petersburg to be designated a national historic district. Established by developer Charles Roser in 1911 as one of St. Petersburg’s first “streetcar suburbs,” the neighborhood is distinguished by its brick streets, venerable oaks and beautiful old bungalows, all laid out along a winding creek on hilly terrain unique to the region. The architectural styles include Prairie, Spanish Revival, Dutch Colonial, “airplane” and double-gabled bungalow, with many of the homes dating to the 1920s. The acclaimed outdoor museum features 28 placards which visitors can follow for a self-guided walking tour through early St. Pete history. Guided tours will also be offered during the Tour of Homes.
