Preservation Alliance Architecture Walking Tours: Chestnut Hill

Take a leisurely stroll through this bucolic “Garden City” neighborhood, a suburban setting within the city limits. Learn how the Pennsylvania Railroad extension to this area, spearheaded by Henry Howard Houston in the 1880s, created this style-conscious development and later, with his son-in-law, George Woodward, continued it into the 1920s.

Explore this haven of late Victorian, Arts & Crafts, English Cotswolds and Modern residences and see how it emerged as a desirable and complete neighborhood. Meet outside Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, across from the tennis courts at the Admissions Parking lot, 500 West Willow Grove Ave.

Space is limited. Advance registration required.
