On Sunday, May 3, 2015 four homes in Homewood, Alabama will be featured on the 2015 Historic Hollywood Tour of Homes.

Included in the tour along Hollywood Boulevard are the Thompson, Cooper, Lary and Doyal homes which have been restored from their glory days in the early 1900's.

Hollywood is a former town annexed into Homewood, Alabama, in 1929  listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Hollywood Historic District. Located between T U.S. Highway 31, U.S. Highway 280, and Lakeshore Drive the district is significant for the Mission Revival and Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style of surviving houses and other buildings.

'Clyde Nelson began developing Hollywood Boulevard as a residential subdivision in 1926. He employed a sales force of 75, armed with the memorable slogan "Out of the Smoke Zone, Into the Ozone", to entice Birmingham residents over Red Mountain. Architect George P. Turner designed many of the new homes in the Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, which had become fashionably linked with the glamor of Hollywood, California in the early days of the motion picture industry there. Turner also nodded to the English Tudor style which was already widespread in Birmingham and over the mountain.'

Tickets to the Historic Hollywood Tour of Homes are $20 in advance  and the tour is on Sunday, May 3 between 1:00 and 4:00 pm. Get more information at historichollywoodtour.com.
