Tour Historical Homes in Libertyville on June 4

will be hosting its eight annual self-guided on June 4, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. This year’s tour will showcase the bungalow, which is a type of house that has varying meanings around the country. The tour highlights various styles of bungalows and the distinct characteristics that enhance their charm.

Many houses in Libertyville feature different bungalow styles, including some of the Chicago bungalow style. Some of the Bungalows feature quaint porches, so the tour may include a few porches again this year. As an added bonus, several of the homes will include a tour of their gardens and/or interiors.

Associated with the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement, "bungalow" has become a common term to describe a house or cottage and is adorned with great architectural interest and distinction.

MainStreet Libertyville Volunteers will be in distributing the Historic Home Tour booklets describing the history or the style of the houses and directions to the various properties. 

A $10 donation to MainStreet Libertyville will include a home tour booklet, but also the chance to help preserve the heritage of Libertyville.
