Holiday Home Tour

A bonus on this year’s Holiday Home Tour, the Jackson Avenue Evangelical Church has had a presence in the Irish Channel for the past 172 years.

When Tim Armstrong and Mark Hensgens renovated this 1914 Arts and Crafts-style double shotgun, their top priority was preserving the home’s original character.

The Haydel’s home was built earlier this year, but it’s Greek Revival exterior meshes seamlessly with the surrounding neighborhood.

With a “happy mix of glamour and comfort, whimsy and utility,” Catherine Makk’s charming Victorian home boasts 12-foot ceilings, original egg-and-dart moldings and period medallions and woodwork.

Charred “shou sugi ban” paneling and an extensive large-format photographic collection are just a few of the pleasant surprises awaiting tour-goers at the Strain’s home, a former church rectory.

The Stall’s recently renovated circa-1879 mansion has an impressive collection of Southern art displayed throughout the home.

Picturesque oak trees and an ornate cast-iron fence line adorn the front of the Creel’s historic Italianate home, which is hosting the PRC’s annual Holiday Home Tour Patron Party.

This double-gallery Greek Revival-style home features bold paint colors and a lush courtyard with a pool.

With a storied history, the former 19th-century athletic club in the Garden District is now the stunning home of Leigh and Billy Bell.

This beautiful home on Pleasant Street is a remarkable mix of old and new, having not lost an ounce of charm in the pursuit of modernization. The Claveries have been good stewards of the home and its history and will continue their efforts for years to come.

Built in 1840, the property developed out of a three-arpent plantation, bounded by Toledano Street above and below by Harmony Street, sold by the heirs of Valery Delassize to Samuel Herman in 1836.

The two-and-a-half-story wood structure is raised on brick piers and displays a central stairway leading to the gallery on the second floor of the home. Classical Revival aesthetic dominates the home’s design, featuring symmetrical double-hung windows, Corinthian columns and dentils.
