Hosted by St. Agatha’s Episcopal Church, this year’s Christmas Tour of Homes highlights historic preservation and restoration of private homes, commercial, and community buildings that are completed or in progress. New this year, three downtown businesses are also on the tour route showcasing incredible, complete restorations of buildings from circa 1900.
Homes on the tour are rich in history and represent various types of architecture including a Florida block cottage with art deco touches; a craftsman style bungalow overlooking the lake; a French Colonial home reminiscent of old New Orleans (a past tour favorite); a Colonial Revival dwelling in Georgian style; and a two-story Steamboat Victorian style that recently received one of five National Trust for Historic Preservation Grants (where homeowners once adorned each of its 18 rooms with a Christmas tree).
Named the Best Small Town in Florida by MSN Insider, Historic DeFuniak Springs is a quiet town with plenty of charm and a rich and broad history. Learn more at sowal.com/towns/defuniak-springs.
