WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE WRHT
“There are many great home tours in the North Texas area, but we value our collaborations with the White Rock Home Tour especially. Curated by a passionate group of volunteers on behalf of a worthy cause, the tour spotlights the residential architecture of one of Dallas' most interesting neighborhoods. Their attention to Ju-Nel Homes, a small firm which created some wonderful mid-century gems specifically for their sites and using materials particular to Texas, is exciting and led to a popular exhibition at the Center several years ago. This is an event not to be missed.”

“I am always excited to see what will be on the tour each year, it is always an excellent opportunity for increasing awareness and appreciation for our local residential architecture and design culture, specifically modern homes. Whether it is mid-century homes that still exist in their original condition, restorations, renovations, or recent construction, they all offer opportunities for exposure to quality design. Through the variety of digital and printed media, modernism is perhaps more accessible than ever, but nothing can replace actually experiencing a project in person. These tours provide that opportunity. I am proud to be a part of this years event.”

“As a longtime resident of the White Rock Lake area, I can't think of a more vibrant community to live and work. My husband and I fell in love with the lake and the unique vibe of Old Lake Highlands back when searching to buy our very first mid-century modern home almost 20 years ago. It has been a pleasure to watch our children grow up here and for our family to be active members of the community. Since living in the neighborhood, we haven’t missed a single year of the White Rock Home Tour. So now, as a Realtor and proud mom of 2 Hexter alums, I am pleased and honored to sponsor the White Rock Home Tour, and to give back to the community that has contributed so much to our family.”

“I was the Chair for the 2013 White Rock Home Tour while my daughter attended Hexter. It was a true highlight of being at Hexter and watching the talented planning team come together and have a lot of fun pulling off a very successful home tour that year. I am still good friends with many of those team members and recently sold one of their mid-century modern homes last year. All the hours of planning are truly worth it when you get to see everyone touring the amazing homes and enjoying the wonderful architecture on those beautiful spring days. Best wishes to this year's team and tour!”
