Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Thanks to all of our supporters during this season of giving, whether you are members, sponsors, tour-goers, volunteers, or concerned citizens. We value all your input and are looking forward to serving your preservation needs in 2010!

The office will be closed on Christmas Day. As a reminder, the Revolving Fund property reviews will begin on the 28th, weather permitting. The office will also close for New Year’s Day.

Revolving Fund Property Reviews

It’s that time of the year again — PHW will be taking the yearly photographic inventory of covenant and easement properties beginning December 28 in preparation for the yearly review. The process will likely last until January 8. Property owners do not need to do anything in preparation for this survey.

Holiday House Tour Snow Plan

The Holiday House Tour Preview Party will proceed tonight 6-9 PM, regardless of the snow. Please remember to dress for the weather and watch your step! As a reminder, ticket holders for the Preview Party may also use their tickets to visit the houses on Sunday during the Daylight Tour.

If you need Preview Party tickets, a limited number are available at the Bough and Dough Shop at 124 W. Boscawen Street and the other ticket sale locations.

Thanksgiving

The PHW Office will be closed Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving. You may still purchase Holiday House Tour tickets at the other sale locations or leave a message on the PHW voicemail (540) 667-3577 or e-mail phwi@verizon.net and we will return your message as soon as possible on Monday, November 30.

Have a happy and safe holiday weekend!

Holiday House Tour Brochure

PHW is pleased to announce the houses for the 2009 Holiday House Tour, Clifford Street: Aglow for the Holidays.

309 South Stewart Street, home of George and Margie Sheppard
309 West Clifford Street, home of Richard and Melanie Lewis
403 West Clifford Street, home of Bob and Lynne Caldwell
415 West Clifford Street, home of John and Elizabeth Quinn
419 West Clifford Street, home of Gregory and Steffany Plotts
124 West Boscawen Street, the Frances Barton Event Center, owned by Tom and Christina Chasler

Much like the 2008 tour on Amherst Street, the majority of the homes are within easy walking distance. As an added perk, it has been many years since PHW visited West Clifford Street, and several homes have never been included on a Holiday House Tour before.
