Their sidewalk stroll, which is a guided walking tour, features Tudor Revival houses, homes that look like they came right out of an English storybook for children.

Light refreshments will be served after the tour, which offers an inexpensive and fun Denver home, hearth and history course. Tickets are $15 each or $20 for this stroll and the remaining 2011 Sidewalk Stroll. On October 22, Stroll through the Baker neighborhood, which is just west of Broadway from Sixth Avenue to Mississippi. Tickets can be purchased at King Soopers stores, City Market Stores at select locations along I70, or at www.denversoldhousesociety.org
Many Tudor Revival homes were built in Denver, primarily in the 1920s and 1930s. Some of them are massive abodes; but, many of them are fine small homes, offering efficient use of space. In Denver, these homes often feature exquisite brick work, massive chimneys, decorative half-timber framing, and multi-paned, diamond pattern windows. Denver's Old House Society sponsors include: Desmond Brown Real Estate Group, Applewood Plumbing Heating and Electric, GB3 Energy Solutions, and Van Camp's Quality Hardwood Floors.
Denver's Old House Society, Inc. is a nonprofit organization, dedicated to educating owners of old houses (50+ years old) and helping them protect their neighborhoods. For more information go to www.denversoldhousesociety.org
