The 50th Annual Lakewood Home Tour is just a few months away.
The tour, hosted by the Lakewood Early Childhood PTA to raise funds to support schools in the Woodrow Wilson High School feeder pattern, is slated for 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 7 and Sunday, Nov. 8. The Candlelight Tour will take place that Saturday night from 7-9:30 p.m. and includes food and wine.
The full list of homes on the tour is expected to be released in late September, but for now, we know of one featured house — the French Eclectic at 7030 Tokalon Drive.
“Originally built in 1929 and meticulously preserved for nearly a century, the home showcases elegant formal rooms, intricate millwork and beautifully restored bathrooms. The original homeowner and builder Lester Lacy was a pivotal figure in expanding Dallas, known for building Central Expressway, Woodrow Wilson High School and parts of Love Field Airport,” according to a press release. “Rich in history yet reimagined for contemporary living, the home features many salvaged materials along with new updates like the striking chef’s kitchen complete with a bar enclave. The grounds are equally as captivating, featuring a resort-style pool, formal gardens, newly-constructed guest house and tennis court, and an enchanting greenhouse tucked into the landscape.”
In the press release, 2026 Home Tour Chairperson Whitney Huffman added: “This remarkable residence exemplifies the enduring character and architectural legacy that have made Lakewood one of Dallas’ most beloved neighborhoods for over a century.”
More is to come regarding “special activations” for the tour’s 50th anniversary, according to the press release. For now, daytime weekend passes for $57.95, with Candlelight Tour tickets for $68.30 (including fees), are on sale here.
