Historic homes open for tours

A home at 2124 S. Rockwood Blvd. will host a tour on Saturday and Sunday of historic homes with landscapes designed by the renowned Olmsted Brothers of Brookline, Mass. It is one of four homes open across Spokane for the 19th annual Mother’s Day historic home tour through the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture.

Tours run from noon to 4 p.m. both days. The event is sponsored by the museum’s Historic Preservation Committee.

Tickets are available in advance from the MAC office, 2316 W. First Ave., or during the tour at St. George’s School, 2929 W. Waikiki Road or at 2124 S. Rockwood Blvd. Access to the Rockwood address is gained from Plateau Road. The cost is $10 for museum members and $15 for nonmembers.

The Olmsted landscapes were chosen for the tour in recognition of the 100 years since the design firm completed a report and design for the Spokane parks system in 1908.
