2010 Christmas Tour of Homes - - a success!

Many thanks to everyone who supported our 2010 Christmas Tour of Homes  - our wonderful guests, the carolers, 3 Oaks Carriage company, Red Bug Motors, Lowes, numerous volunteers, and of course the generous home owners who let us into their fabulous homes.  We also had a great group of sponsors and advertisers who made this event possible.  This was a wonderful show of support for historic Old Town Brunswick.

The B.F. Mann House, circa 1889

    

      The original house built in the late 1800s belonged to Mr. Mann who owned a furniture store on Newcastle Street. Sometime after 1930 the house burned down and the present structure was built to look like the old one . . .  from the outside. Inside is an updated, version with all the comforts of the twentieth century.

     Everything changes when you walk in the front door. You will be surprised by a modern, open floor plan with a big family kitchen, 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms and something unheard of in the other homes like this one…..closets and storage space.

Getting Ready for Christmas

     When downtown shopping, check out the Christmas Tree in historic Jekyll Square.  Magnolia Garden Club purchased the tree with proceeds from the 2009 Christmas Tour of Homes and had a great time decorating it.   It is all ready for Santa's arrival.

The Lott-Parker House, Circa 1900

     Another Union Street jewel, this residence was built by J.J. Lott, and stayed in the same family until 2005.  Note the first story windows crowned with broken pediments and the Corinthian columns. These details identify the Colonial aspects of the house.

  

     The rounded stepped entry and squared door and side light arrangement show a mixture of Neoclassical influences that make  this home part of the Eclectic Movement.
