Heritage House and Mary's Playhouse tours plus free history book
The Irving Heritage House, located at 303 South O’Connor, will be open on Sunday, April 2, from 3pm to 5pm for the first Sunday tour. Admission is free and docent led tours are offered at 3pm and 4pm. Built in 1912, this Recorded Texas Historic Landmark provides a glimpse of one of Irving’s early families and their home. All guests will receive a complimentary copy of the history book by Norma Stanton Irving Texas: From Rails to Wings.
In the garden area behind the Heritage House, the recently reconstructed Mary’s Playhouse will also be open for visitors during the same hours. Originally built as a chicken coop, the building was adapted as a playhouse for the young Schulze daughter Mary. Toys, books and other treasures from Mary and her brother Charles are displayed.
