We  traveled south on the computer this rainy Saturday morning to celebrate Father’s Day weekend in Austin, Texas for the 33rd annual Hyde Park Historic Homes Tour.  Six houses on the tour include an 1890s two-story home that was moved to the neighborhood from the west campus area, an historic landmark home that has been faithfully restored yet modernized for 21st century living, and homes that acknowledge their roots while adding complementary additions that honor the integrity of the house and neighborhood.  The historic Hyde Park neighborhood, Austin’s first suburb “features the inherently green aspects of close community, diversity, access to public transportation, parks, schools and plenty of stores within walking distance.”
