The Old Hyde Park Home Tour is a fundraiser for Hyde Park Preservation, (HPPI) a neighborhood association that aims to protect and advocate for the Historic Hyde Park neighborhood.

Hyde Park is a special place, as one of the original Tampa subdivisions featuring diverse styles of homes dating from the early 1900’s and a beautiful and important tree canopy, its preservation is vital.

Dating to the 1880s, Hyde Park's development began when railroad magnate Henry Plant built a bridge over the Hillsborough River providing a link to downtown.

Hyde Park's Morrison Grove subdivision is where many of the state's loveliest mix of historic homes  -  Georgian and classical mansions, half-timber houses and Craftsman bungalows - can be found.

The neighborhood's historic district was designated in the 1980s, preserving its character amid modernization.  The 2023 Tour was featured prominently in the Tampa Bay Times.

Several unique and inspired homes join the tour this year. One of the many highlights is a home built in 1912 by James N. and Dora A. Bryan. It is a beautifully restored classic Victorian style home with lots of Bungalow Craftsman features. 

Adding to the excitement and also seamlessly combining the old and the new is a gorgeous home on South Oregon designed by acclaimed and in-demand decorator Tate Casper of Oxford Design.

Several of the historic homes have sweeping gracious porches and inspired backyards that will be decorated to celebrate the holidays and filled with music and treats from our supportive sponsors.
