An Architectural Tour with Designers & Contractors Onsite
Presented by Chestnut Hill Conservancy & Chestnut Hill Community Association
The Great Houses Tour welcomed attendees to explore FIVE fabulous Chestnut Hill homes, representing many different architectural styles and eras of construction. All of these homes had been adapted for contemporary living while embracing the community’s history and landscape.
Presented annually by the Chestnut Hill Conservancy (http://chconservancy.org) and the Chestnut Hill Community Association (http://www.chestnuthill.org), the Great Houses Tour is designed to celebrate and share the ways that traditional and contemporary design can coexist in this historic and architecturally extraordinary community. The hosts at each house included their architects, designers, and contractors to connect tour goers to a wealth of information.
New for 2019! Great House Tour attendees will also received FREE admission to Morris Arboretum’s Springfield Mills' open demonstration day. This historic mill has been restored and is stone-grinding corn for meal and flour. Visitors explored revolutionary technology, local history and the beautiful setting along the Wissahickon Creek.
Make it a day in Chestnut Hill! Many restaurants and shops offered discounts for Great House Tour attendees.
This self-guided tour took place from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Attendees will received a map with home locations when they checked in at registration at Church of St. Martin-in-the Fields, 8000 St. Martin’s Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19118.
