Krisana Park will be part of the Virginia Village Mid Century Modern Home Tour on July 16, 2017 from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm! Planned as a celebration of the recently acquired Conservation Overlay District, the tour features seven homes, including a lovingly-preserved gem, sensitive remodels (one of which recently appeared on the cover of Atomic Ranch magazine), and a new build that was inspired by Mid Century Modern Architecture.

Proceeds from the tour will benefit Ellis Elementary School at 1651 S. Dahlia St and will be used to purchase technology and other learning aids for students.

The tour will start at Ellis Elementary, where guests will pick up/purchase tickets and a tour map, refreshments, and commemorative merchandise. All of the homes featured on the tour are within walking distance of Ellis Elementary.

Seeking MCM Homes to Showcase for July 2017 Home Tour

February 5, 2017 Krisana Park

Inspired by our recent achievement of passing the Conservation Overlay District of Krisana Park, we’d like to celebrate with a home tour to showcase the unique architectural details that give our neighborhood its charm, and to highlight the importance of preservation at a time of unprecedented growth in Denver.

We are seeking six to eight homeowners to participate as hosts in a July 2017 home tour. We are looking for a diverse collection of homes with original architectural detail, modern enhancements, and interesting interiors inspired by Mid Century Modern (MCM) design.

Our own Ellis Elementary School will be a beneficiary of this event.

Interested to learn more? Please contact Pamela Walshe for more information about the submission and selection process. We look forward to hearing from you!
