Help Restore Lockerbie's Historic Alleys
The Historic Lockerbie Square Home & Garden Tour was revived in 2024 after a 20-year hiatus to raise funds for the restoration and repair of the neighborhood’s historic alleys. These distinctive alleys—made of historic brick and aging patchwork asphalt—are a defining feature of Lockerbie Square’s character but many are in need of signficant repair. 100% of the tour proceeds support alley restoration and neighborhood improvements. Additional donations toward the cause are always welcome.

A Note About Safety & Accessibility
The Lockerbie neighborhood was established in the 1860s and as such, many of our public spaces and structures reflect the space and design sensibilities of those times. While we adore the charm this history brings us, please note that our brick sidewalks are often uneven, our main street is made of cobblestones, many homes have narrow doorways, and staircases can be steep. Our top priority is your safety, so please consider these factors when deciding if the tour is right for you.
