[Carole Lester]

The Fresno Historical Society presents its 30th annual historic home tour November 13 and 14 featuring five beautiful historic homes on Huntington Boulevard.  Gather on the front lawn at 3555 Huntington Boulevard on Friday evening, November 13 from 6:30 to 9:30 PM for wine and harvest supper catered by Love & Garlic, followed by a candlelight tour of the five homes on tour.  Saturday morning at 11 AM join us at the Library at Roosevelt High School for an illustrated lecture by Karana Hattersley-Drayton, City of Fresno, Historic Preservation Officer and a panel discussion “Greening Up Your Historic Home” with Jon Carroll, homeowner and preservationist who will talk about remodeling his Huntington Boulevard home; Joseph Oldham, City of Fresno’s Sustainability Manager who will cover the science of energy efficiency (including why window change-outs are NOT the best way to conserve energy and money) and Chris Johnson, Historic Preservation Architect , who will discuss how to “Rehab Right” using the Secretary  of Interior’s Standards.  A question and answer session will follow.  From Noon to 4 PM take the tour and discover the way these homes have been preserved, maintained, augmented and remodeled while remaining true to the original design. Observe the lovely gardens as well!
