Pendleton Heights Third Annual Holiday Homes Tour

Pendleton Heights is proud to announce its Third Annual Holiday Homes Tour, once again featuring four homes of the Victorian era decorated for the holidays. Pendleton Heights, Kansas City’s first suburb, is a historically-designated district and neighborhood a few minutes east of the Downtown River Market Area. Located on the western edge of the Northeast Area, Pendleton Heights still retains the vast majority of its original homes, constructed in the late 1880s and 1890s.

The four homes selected to be in the 2009 tour, all built in the late 1880s, range in exterior design from Queen Anne to Shingle-Style, also featuring a style that is integral to our city’s architectural landscape: the “Kansas City Colonnade”. The interiors of these fine homes, all in various stages of rehabbing, present us with differing points of view. From darker, more authentic Victorian interiors complete with original fireplaces, doors and wood trim, to those that have been gutted and rebuilt from the inside out, wearing a decidedly more modern, yet no less charming face.

From 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. on November 28th (the Saturday after Thanksgiving), these feature homes will have their first floors open for the advance ticket price of $10 through November 15th; tickets bought or ordered after November 15th are $12 each. Commemorative posters will also be for sale at each of the tour homes ($10 each). All proceeds go toward the Pendleton Heights Neighborhood Association, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization.

The advance ticket order form can be found online at
