Discover the late-19th century charm of a 116-year-old Victorian house decorated for the holidays during a free tour of Centennial House, one of the City of Aurora's historic sites.

Presented by the Aurora Historical Society, the Victorian Holidays at Centennial House tours will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Dec. 2 and 16. Cider and cookies will be served at the house, located at 1671 Galena St.

For more information, call 303-289-0141.

This Queen Anne Victorian home is the oldest of nine remaining houses Donald Fletcher built for his speculative community east of Denver. The name of this community later changed from Fletcher to Aurora.

Like all Fletcher homes, it has indoor plumbing and an upstairs bathroom, a luxury considering both the time period and the arid surroundings. The City of Aurora purchased the house in 1990 and community members restored it for the city's Centennial year.
