White Rock Home Tour kicks off this weekend
One of the tour’s featured homes is a mid-century modern lovingly restored by a lesbian couple DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Renovating homes, said Summer Riggins, “is not my primary job, but it is my passion.” And the home she renovated and shares with partner Jill Reeves is featured on this weekend’s 15th annual White Rock Home Tour.
The founders of the White Rock Home Tour were interested in mid-century modern architecture. They lived on a street of homes that featured low, horizontal flat roofs with open spaces rather than lots of small, dark rooms.
The designers, Lyle Rowley and Jack Wilson, appreciated nature, so their work featured quite a bit of glass, allowing abundant natural light.
Their houses are known as Ju-Nel homes. Today the tour remains committed to offering some of the area’s most interesting mid-century homes.
