Five spectacular houses in gracious settings on beautiful Shell Beach Drive comprise the 38th Annual Palm Sunday Tour of Homes in Lake Charles.

Patrons of the Tour will be enchanted by the variety of house styles and interior design choices.

One house on the Tour, a storybook Scottish Tudor revival, boasts impressive leaded glass arched windows. A traditional center-hall raised Louisiana Cottage features personal collections of art and artifacts from all over the world. A Georgian-tidewater villa is gloriously sited directly on the water. Tropical colors and lush grounds figure into a picture-perfect American foursquare with double porches. And, a Greek revival plantation form is just the right complement to elegant interior finishes, colors, and furniture.

The houses on the Tour show a remarkable range and variety of tasteful design choices while maintaining historic exterior authenticity.
