A Legacy of Design and Community: The White Rock Home Tour
Established in 2006, the White Rock Home Tour has become a cherished tradition, celebrating its 16th year in 2024. This annual event serves as a valuable fundraiser for Hexter Elementary near White Rock Lake.
This year's tour promises to be even more captivating, showcasing a curated selection of six magnificent homes. From iconic mid-century gems to stunning new modern builds, the tour offers a unique opportunity to explore a range of architectural styles.
"It was conceived in 2006 to celebrate the untold story of two up-and-coming Dallas architects from the 1950s whose mid-century modern home designs shaped the northeast side of White Rock Lake. The tour draws together a group of people who appreciate good design, who are drawn to White Rock Lake, and who support strong neighborhoods and the schools that serve them.”
- Christine Rogers, the founder of The White Rock Home Tour
