A couple of weeks ago, I went to the 2019 Hyde Park Home Tour. I had to. This is Model Home Porn, so duh. This area of town is always on it’s best behavior, so expectations were high. Tree lined streets, some of them still brick, take you right to Bayshore Blvd. and some of the prettiest views in Tampa Bay.

There were 9 homes on the tour and it took most of the day. Each home had catered food and drinks from small local businesses. There wasn’t a single moment of disappointment. Well, maybe. We’ll discuss later.

Homes are highlighted by historical significance and are an architecture lovers dream. I highly encourage you to take a look at some of South Tampa’s offerings. There is a Frank Loyd Wright house and plenty of authentic Craftsman homes. You can also find the occasional Post Modern design.

Put this on your calendar for 2020. It’s an election year, so make this a welcome respite for your overworked brain. I’m here for you.
