ihe thirty-first annual Rappahannock House Tour and Dried Flower Sale will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 17 and 18. The three houses slated for this year’s tour will be open from 11 a. m. to 5 P-i®. on Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. Headquarters for the, event will be the Parish Hall of Trinity Episcopal Church in historic Washington.
■•The Parish Hall will also serve as sales room for hundreds of arrangements of dried flowers prepared by the. ladies of Trinity Church and others; in the community who, since spring, have been growing, collecting and drying thousands of blossoms, greens and pieces of foliage for .these arrangements.
The second of the houses to be shtfwn this year is “Mere House,” the contemporary passive solar home of Linda and William Dietel. Built in 1981, designed by Bump Zoid of New York and landscaped by Meade Palmer of Warrenton, it was chosen as a Record House by The Architectural Record in 1983. Mere House is the center of the Over Jordan Polypay sheep farm. This modem, three level, weathered wood structure is built into a hillside overlooking a pond or “mere.” Quite different from what one would expect of at “farm house,” it is as clean-lined outside as it is within; bright, airy, modem, comfortable and uncluttered.
