Alden B. Dow 2008 Autumn Reflections Tour, Midland, MI

Autumn Reflections tours are, once again, proving to be most interesting!!

The two homes featured this year, the Diehl and Harlow residence. Diehl and Harlow Residences, are from different decades, demonstrating the evolution in style of Alden Dow. Each home is distinctive in design from the lead glass windows and hip roof of the Diehl home to the vast openness you feel in the Harlow residence. What is especially unique about these homes is the placement of the structures on their lots; each enhancing the natural beauty of their surroundings.

You will also have the chance to explore areas of the Home and Studio, inside and out, not available on any other tour throughout the year!!! Capture the beauty of this magnificent structure from various exterior venues, including the Point, courtyard, two terraces, lantern hill, and of course, the blocks in the pond.

Friday, October 3rd, through Sunday, October 5th, several different types of tours are available to choose from, all two hours in length -

INTRODUCTORY TOUR - a brief tour of the Home and Studio and a quick glimpse of the Diehl and Harlow homes.

ULTIMATE HOME AND STUDIO TOUR - in depth tour of the Home and Studio.

COMBINATION TOUR (available only Saturday and Sunday) - a full day of architecture includes both the Ultimate Home and Studio tour AND the Ultimate Travel tour!!
