May 18th is the 49th annual Park Slope House Tour sponsored by the Park Slope Civic Council.

I’ve done the tour a few times and it really satisfies those voyeuristic tendencies of mine. You get to walk around in beautiful houses and see beyond the bay windows.

What fun!

The 2008 tour showcases nine beautiful and historically fascinating homes in the northern part of Park Slope, plus the famous Montauk Club and performances at the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music.

The funds raised by this self-guided walking tour are returned to the community as grants to local schools, charities, cultural institutions and other organizations.

You can purchase tickets online until 8 pm, Saturday, May 17. Your ticket(s) will be held for you on Tour Day, Sunday, May 18, at our starting point at The Berkeley Carroll School. You may also purchase tickets the day of the tour at the starting point, for $25.
