Annual HRAA Spring House Tour on April 30

     The annual College of Human Resources Alumni Association Spring
House Tour, will be held on Sunday, April 30. Tickets are on sale for
the event, which supports the freshman scholarship fund. This past
year, three freshman scholarships were funded by the association.
     The 1995 tour features 12 homes, from Colonial to contemporary.
Six of the homes are in New Castle, ranging from Colonial to Victorian
styles. The houses display many original architectural features and
antique furnishings, with the adjoining gardens open for viewing.
     The Wilmington homes represent several styles of architecture
from the Colonial, Georgian, Victorian and contemporary periods. One
home encompasses an entire city block, and another is a condominium
built within a Victorian setting. A Historic Landmark house resembles
a French manor home and is furnished with many 18th-century family
heirlooms.
     Sketches of the homes were made by students in interior design
classes taught by Paul Sestak, associate professor of textiles, design
and consumer economics.
