MEDINA – Each of the city’s historically-designated neighborhoods will be featured in the Community Design Committee’s annual Holiday Home Tour.

This year’s tour is tomorrow, Sunday, Dec. 4, from noon to 5 p.m., and features six homes dating between 1840 and 1940. All will be decorated for the holidays with docents on hand to discuss each home’s history and restoration processes.

Tickets are available for $15 at medinacommunitydesigncommittee.org, Cool Beans, Miss Molly’s Tea Room, Boyert’s, Antiquation, Theorem and Root Candle.

The tour begins at the United Church of Christ on Public Square, where refreshments will also be made available.

The nonprofit Community Design Committee, chaired by Bill Lamb, a Medina city councilman and restoration advocate, is making an effort to focus this year on multiple historic neighborhoods, rather than just one.

“Promoting homes in neighborhoods that have formed associations to foster restoration and preservation showcases the benefit of living near the city center,” Lamb said. “I have met more and more young copuples who have come to Medina and want to live in neighborhoods within easy walking distance to the square.”

Earlier this year, the CDC worked with residents to create the city’s fourth historic district association, Bankers Row on West Washington Street. The others include South Court Street Historic Neighborhood, the Water Tower District (West Friendship Street and Elmwood Avenue) and the downtown Historic District.

“This is the result of restoration and historic designation of the nine-block commercial district, as well as the booming and diverse business district,” Lamb said.

This year’s homes on the tour are 505 E. Washington St.; 510 Wadsworth Road; 236 W. Homestead St.; 232 E. North St.; 141 S. Prospect St.; and 524 S. Court St.

Proceeds from this year’s tour will benefit the restoration of the second floor of the Medina Town Hall and Engine House Museum on Public Square. The CDC – in cooperation with the city, a private donor and student labor from the Medina County Career Center – is planning a large community room with views of the square. The renovation will also include office space for the CDC and nonprofit economic development firm Main Street Medina.

“Featured at the Engine House will be the new renderings and restoration plans, as well as an opportunity to write a personal message on the wall as kind of a time capsule message to the future,” Lamb said, adding the wall will soon be covered during the renovation work.
