Article From Life on Capitol Hill…

The Victorian Holiday House Tour, a Capitol Hill tradition, will return Saturday, November 26th, Thanksgiving weekend. The tour was revived by the Colfax Business Improvement District (C-BID) in 2010 after a ten-year absence.

The tour includes seven historic properties: three Bed & Breakfasts… the Adiago, 1430 Race, Castle Marne, 16th & Race, and the Holiday Chalet, Colfax & High; the Denver Tea Room, 1820 E. Colfax; Unity Temple, 1555 Race; the Pearce-McAllister Cottage, 1880 Gaylord; and the Bailey/Siller’s mansion, 16th & Ogden.

The $12 admission (in advance, $15 day of the tour) will include a full tour of the properties, some of which are not normally available for public tour (especially during a holiday weekend). Tickets may be purchased online at colfaxave.com or at the door of any participant the day of the event.

The tour is scheduled for 11:00 AM – 4:00 PM and proceeds will benefit Denver Children’s Home. Free parking will be available at Walgreens and Mama’s Cafe, located on the fourth and north sides of Colfax & Race, and Divine Science Church, 14th & Williams.

Complimentary horse-drawn carriage rides will be available for ticketed guests and entertainment will be provided by the Original Dickens Carolers, the Last Note Singers, and other performers.

Participants will be given a program of special holiday offerings presented by Colfax merchants on the day of the tour (such as lunch specials).
