The Grandview Heights Historic District will be hosting their 15th annual historic home tour on Sunday, April 01st, between 3 – 7 pm. This home tour will mark the 100th birthday of the oldest section of Grandview Heights. Located within walking distance to City Place and the downtown Clematis Street Historic District, the Grandview Heights Historic District has become one of the most desirable residential neighborhoods in West Palm Beach due to its superb location and eclectic, old south Florida atmosphere. Established in 1912 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this neighborhood has one of the highest concentrations of historically significant architecture, such as Spanish Mission, Mediterranean Revival, Florida Bungalow, Art Deco and Dutch Colonial Revival.
This year’s tour features 14 homes, the biggest ever, with various styles and in different stages of restoration. 11 of the homes have never been shown in the past, including one which dates back to 1912. Highlights of the tour this year include art exhibits by locally acclaimed artists at Grandview Gardens Bed & Breakfast and Casa Grandview Historic Luxury Inn, a complimentary street party including a full meal, wine, soft drinks and live entertainment by Samm, one of the areas most popular jazz singers.
