Thursday, August 27th

6 — 7 p.m.

Virtual Renovation Rodeo | Melrose Heights-Oaklawn

Free for Palladium members
$5 for Non-Members

Reserve Your Ticket

Those registered will receive the Zoom link before the event date.

Have you missed Renovation Rodeo as much as we have? Well, it’s baaaaack! And now you can enjoy it from the comfort of your own home. 

Join us as we take a walk through a Melrose Heights-Oaklawn bungalow believed to date to the early 1900s, well before many of the neighborhood’s other houses. The porch columns' and railings’ slim and delicate details are reminiscent of Victorian features, quite unlike the bulky and heavy elements typical of the later Craftsman style. 

As always, FREE for Palladium members (but registration is required to get the zoom link) and $5 for members and non-members.
