Jenny Thomas of Boutique Apartments gave me the heads up on the Washington Park Home Tour on Saturday, May 10, 2008 from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Wash-Park is dominated by Bungalows and Tudors, but the occasional modern home can be found there as well.

One such example will be featured on the tour. 972 S. Gilpin is a masterful remodel that was also featured in the Rocky Mountain News.

Thanks for sending this Jenny. It’s doubly nice because it gives me a chance to finally share one of the pics I’ve taken of the park itself.
