The Downtown Neighborhoods feature houses that reflect the diverse materials and architectural styles that sprung up as Albuquerque expanded from Old Town to New Town with the arrival of the railroad and all its influences. This year’s tour will feature homes in the 4th Ward Historic District, 8th and Forrester Historic District, and the Watson Addition. Today you can still see American Foursquare, Queen Anne, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, Territorial, Pueblo Style Adobe, Victorian, Prairie Style, Bungalows and Craftsman Style homes throughout the neighborhood. Many of the homes on the tour have been lovingly restored to their original splendor, plus modern conveniences.
