Dear East 7th Avenue Parkway tour Participants, Hosts, and Friends of the ICAA,
It was a lovely morning as we made our way up the Parkway, seeing those beautiful homes and gardens and meeting many gracious people along the way. We would like to especially thank the homeowners who generously shared their time and personal insights about their houses:





It was a wonderful way to end C&C’s year of residential tours. Many thanks to all of you who faithfully participated, to Tommy Matthews for providing nearly all of the fine photographs this year, and to Tom Carr and others who helped with the tours. Next year we are looking forward to partnering with Historic Denver & Colorado Preservation , Inc. to focus on “Endangered Buildings”. Please stay tuned for upcoming details about 2015.
