New Orleans Holiday Home Tour: A Gift Through the Ages

No longer do you need to stand on the outside gawking at the beautiful homes in the Garden District. Thanks to the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans, you can take those inquisitive eyes and minds into the homes on the Holiday Home Tour, which takes place in mid-December. Kelley Crawford talks with Executive Director of the PRC, Danielle Del Sol, about what these homes offer individuals and the city.
There’s something about walking into someone’s home that changes us. Take Scrooge from A Christmas Carol — the curmudgeon with a heart equally puckered as the pre-transformed Grinch. Yet, Scrooge makes a full transition into a lovable, jolly giver after the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future give him glimpses into different homes. Luckily, we no longer need spirits to (kind of creepily) visit us on Christmas Eve to venture into homes that might change our minds, our hearts, or at least our decorating sense. Instead, we have the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans.
