House and Garden Tour,continued

As we go to press with the magazine, additional sites are
opening for us, so be sure to check our website for more details.

As we’ve explored this area in preparation for the tour, we
have become big fans of the neighborhood. We are in good
company. Famed actor Audrey Hepburn was a fan of the
area. Ms Hepburn’s partner Robert Wolders had family living
in the neighborhood, and they would visit for several weeks
a year from the 1980s through the early 90s. Mr. Wolders
told a researcher that they were in the habit of taking strolls
on Belcoda Drive, and that she loved the retro ambiance of
the street. Ms. Hepburn reportedly said that, if her life had
worked out differently, she could have seen herself living in
this neighborhood.
So make the drive up to Irondequoit for the tour—you won’t
regret it. Take it from me—or from Audrey Hepburn!
The Details: If you’ve never participated in the June tour,
you’ll want to know that you can go at your own pace. Your
ticket booklet provides a map, descriptions of the house, and
admission to each home for one visit. You may go in any
order—you can even choose to visit some houses on Saturday
and others on Sunday. We provide shoe covers to wear inside
the private homes.
Advance tickets are $20 for members and $28 for non-
members. Tickets can be ordered on our website starting
Monday, May 6th. Starting Tuesday May 14th you may
purchase tickets in person from us at our Corn Hill office or
at Parkleigh, on the corner of Park Avenue and Goodman
Street; or order over the phone at (585) 546-7029 x11. On
the days of the tour, if we are not sold out, $35 tickets will be
available at our tour headquarters: St. Mary the Protectress
Church Hall, 3176 St Paul Blvd.
