Save the Date - House Tour Awaits
Sunday October 21

The Dupont Circle House Tour is back for its 51st year with access to some of the private homes and historic institutions that make Dupont Circle a city treasure. In the weeks to come, ticket holders will receive sneak peaks into the tour sites. There is truly something for everyone on this eclectic tour -- whether your taste is ultra modern or preserved-in-amber authentic, from that darling first apartment, to multi-floor manse, to the luxurious downsize you so deserve in your retirement. Stay tuned for opportunities to learn more about what you can expect when enjoying tea at the majestic Belmont Mansion and a chance for admittance to a special after-event at the Ampeer's bar, usually closed to the public, but open to House Tour ticket holders this year.
