Dormont Library House Tour

06/23/2020

Let’s be honest. The chance that we will be able to have the Dormont House Tour this year with COVID-19 is a slim one. What are your suggestions to replace the annual fundraiser for the Dormont Library for 2020?

One of the families scheduled to participate in this year’s tour had to withdraw because of illness. (Feel better soon!) On the suggestion of one of our other homeowners (thanks Larry!), we reached out to realtors having Open Houses who have kindly expanded their hours and opened their doors to our House Tour participants.

SPECIAL FEATURE: This is the first time you can actually BUY a house on the house tour.

Thank you for your generosity and being neighborly!

Did you know that the Dormont Library Fall House Tour is celebrating its 20th year? Since 1989, our friends and neighbors in Dormont have opened up their doors and homes to benefit the Dormont Public Library. This year is no exception.

Join us on Sunday, October 13 from 11 AM to 4 PM to tour five beauties in Dormont. (Don't worry Steelers fans - it's an 8:20 PM game!) We have a 1925 home with multiple stained glass windows, includuing one with a woman named "Debbie;" a five-bedroom home with a porch that is a jewel in a community of porches; a single-level craftsman home that has seen many renovations; a 1912 home that includes a quiet oasis for the homeowners; and a 1929 home that was rescued after going on the market as a foreclosure and now features a beautiful sun porch.

Want to know more? You'll just have to join us. Purchase advance tickets at $15 per person at the Dormont Public Library desk, online at dormontlibrary.org/housetour or stop by the House Tour Committee table at the Street Fair. Day-of tickets will be on sale for $20 per person and will go on sale beginning at 10 AM at the library.

A big thank you to everyone who has already purchased tickets, and those who have made donations to support the event. A special thank you to those businesses, organizations and individuals that took ads in our program booklet (aka the ticket) and, most importantly, the homeowners who have so graciously participated.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yesterday's Holiday House Tour was a great success and we thank all of those who played a part in it - to our homeowners who graciously opened their houses and gave of their time, to our sponsors who placed ads or made donations to the Dormont Public Library in support of the event, to the Dormont-Mt Lebanon-Castle Shannon Rotary Club, Colleen Taylor Lehman and Garrett Conti for their contributions to the event, to the library staff, and to the 100+ people who took time out of their day Sunday to visit these beautiful Dormont homes. You are wonderful and we're so grateful for your support of our library.

Next year's House Tour will be the Fall Tour in early October. If you or someone you know is interested in being on the tour, please contact us! It will be here before you know it.
