President-elect Dwight Eisenhower had just returned from Korea. A first-class stamp was 3 cents. America had just seen its first magazine-style TV show, something called “The Today Show” starring Dave Garroway. And “Singin’ in the Rain” was playing at the Paramount Theatre across the street from Scarborough’s Department Store.
The Heritage Society of Austin pays homage to the city’s modernist roots and honors some of Austin’s premier mid-century architects during the Mid-Century Modern-themed Heritage Homes Tour on May 17th. This 16th annual tour has been revised to include both a daytime driving tour from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 pm then a Twilight Tour beginning at 6:30 which will conclude at a Mid-Century Modern bash starting at 8:00 at the final featured home.

As the House Selection Chair for HSA Historic Home Tour, we hope you will come out to enjoy this year’s tour. Of the great houses we were lucky enough to include on the tour this year, we have Charles Granger’s personal residence, a beautiful Stenger home in Barton Hills, a wonderful Fehr & Granger home on Lake Austin, Architect Earl Dillard’s personal residence and a Westlake home built for a Colonel and his family with a completely stocked bomb shelter.
