Tour East English Village homes looking for owners
Note: This is a repeat of what appeared in today's Homestyle section, because it deserves another mention.
East English Village will put a different spin on its first home tour 1-5 p.m. Sunday: houses that have lost their owners. Five distinctive, bank-owned homes in the historic east side Detroit neighborhood will be on display, all within walking distance.
Beautifully maintained, occupied homes will serve as check-ins and garden stops.
As a highlight, the "Camelot Rug," an antique needlepoint piece that graced the Oval Office during President John F. Kennedy's administration, will be on display at the tour check-in. Participants also may get a glimpse inside the Alger Theater, which is under renovation, on East Warren Avenue at East Outer Drive.
The tour is free, followed by an afterglow with featherbowling at the Cadieux Café. To register, call (313) 216-1729 or visit www.eastenglishvillage.org/tour.
