Enid Historic Home Tour
June is National Historic Preservation Month and Enid's Waverley Historic District will be conducting a four house tour this Sunday as part of the Oklahoma Centennial. The Waverley district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is centered around west Broadway, Maine and Cherokee.The Waverley district has on display almost every architectural home style popular at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Sunday's tour offers a look back in time at period porches, foyers, staircases, dining rooms, kitchens, butler pantries, mud porches and more. Although each home will have a hostess to guide you, only select portions of each home will be on display.
The tour runs from 2 to 4 p.m. June 3. The cost of the tour is $10 per person. The money raised will go to the Waverley Historical District for sidewalk improvements.
The four featured homes on the tour are:
• McCristy-Knox-Hedges mansion (pictured above), 1323 W Broadway.
• P.C. Simons home, 1324 W Broadway.
• Rudolph Ruzel Sr. home (also known as the house on Broadway with 100 windows), 1601 W Broadway.
