Foundation’s House Tour offers architectural and stylistic variety from wonderful homes to the Basilica Shrine of Saint Mary This year’s Azalea Festival Home Tour will showcase the wide variety of architectural styles found in Wilmington. Nine inviting historic homes and one historic church will welcome ticket holders April 11 and 12. The homes and church span 170 years of Wilmington’s history and architecture. The homes on tour this year cover many examples of classic Wilmington architecture from the Craftsman Bungalow to a Greek Revival cottage, from a Foursquare style to an English Cotswold Cottage. The Basilica Shrine of Saint Mary provides an exquisite example of Spanish Baroque style. The tour will also feature a Brookwood neighborhood home on the tour. Brookwood was announced as Wilmington’s eighth National Register District in December. The tours will be from 1 to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. on Sunday (The Basilica Shrine of Saint Mary is open on Saturday, April 11th from 1PM to 5PM and Sunday, April 12th from 2PM to 5PM).
