Garden Court: The Early 20th Century and the American Suburban Ideal
Sunday, October 18, 10am

As the Victorian era faded out, new ideas gave birth to a new paradigm in residential living. The new century began with fresh new architectural styles such as the American Arts and Crafts Movement, and the automobile forever changed the way Americans lived. Stroll past a few blocks on the western edge of the Spruce Hill neighborhood and admire the grand and ornate Victorian 1890's "twin" semi-detached houses.
