Historic Apex Holiday Home Tours

Posted: December 2, 2011

The Historic Society in Apex is holding it’s 25th Annual Holiday Home Tour.  The Tour will be on December 5th, 2011 from 1 until 5.

This year the Tour will include the Harward – Deal House built in 1915.  Over the years, the home was turned into a duplex.  In 2010, the Deal’s purchased the home, and began the process of gutting the home and bringing it back to it’s former floorplan and charm using original materials of the time.

The 1870′s Farm House on Olive Chapel Road is the home of the Apex Historical Society.  The  Maynard-Pearson House, after years  of renovation is now used as a museum of rural living which offers educational tours for adults and children.

The Union Station in Historic Downtown Apex, across from Common Grounds, is also going to be open to the public.  305 S Hughes St. will also be open.  This home was built in 1901, and when there was a major leak earlier in 2011 – the current owner made extensive repairs, stripping out linoleum to reveal aged pine floors and putting in a claw footed tub!

Kim Crenshaw Photography – is housed in a 1928 home that was moved to it’s current position outside of Hadden Hall.  This property was once the home and offices for Dr. Charles Bryan.

The Historical Society is made up of two important focuses.   Apex Historical Society and the Maynard Pearson House Trust are both important missions of the group.  It is a non-profit, membership-supported organization dedicated to preserving, protecting and promoting the history of Apex.  The Apex Histoical Society  is another reason so many people love living in the news homes at The Villages of Apex!

It’s a full weekend in Apex with the Christmas Parade happening on Saturday night!  If you are in the area, stop by and see us!  The Villages of Apex will be the Staging area for the Parade.
