University City Walking Tours
Garden Court: The Early 20th Century and the American Suburban Ideal
Sunday, March 21, 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 Tudor Revival, 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. Explore this especially lovely part of University City with local scholar and guide Mark Silber. The tour is free, but space is limited; please RSVP at buddmar@mail.com or by calling 215-387-4213.
