Home Tour Tickets

What to Expect

The tour begins at the Irvington Tennis Club, 2131 NE Thompson St (south ballroom entrance). Ticket pickup begins at 10:30 - houses open at 11:00. Due to limited on-street parking near the club, plan to park several blocks away or take public transportation.

When you arrive at the Irvington Club you will be asked to acknowledge that you have read and agree to the Irvington Home Tour participant liability waiver (See Below).  You will then be given a printed program which serves as your map and and entrance ticket to each home. The homes are located within relatively close proximity, so we encourage tour-goers to walk rather than drive, and enjoy the beautiful heritage trees and other historic homes along the way. Allocate at least two hours for touring all six houses.

The tour is self-guided and you may visit the homes in any order. Each home is staffed with volunteer docents who are knowledgeable about the home’s history and features, and will be happy to answer your questions.

These are century-old homes with many stairs, some of which may be steep and narrow! Please wear comfortable shoes and hold hand railings. When visiting the gardens, please stay on the paths.
