This year’s extraordinary tour focuses on homes built for the city’s merchant and artisan class. Some highlights include the largest intact woodframe home in the Village; a town-house with a classically Greek-Revival exterior and a dramatic mid-century modern interior; and one of the Village’s grandest French Second Empire houses, located on the site of Peter Warren’s eighteenth century farmhouse.
The proceeds from the Benefit support the continuing education and advocacy work of GVSHP.
