Following the success of the two previous walks, join us at 2:30 on Saturday 18 October for another stroll along Bridge Street and its cross-streets to view some more magnificent mansions built in this leafy area in the late 19th century. The commentary will include both architectural notes and stories about some of each house’s inhabitants through the years.
In Part 3, we will meet at the corner of Queen Street and George Street (parking is possible on either street) and take in George Street and John Street. At the end of the walking tour (around 4 pm) attendees will be invited to a local hostelry for refreshment.
The Architectural Conservancy of Ontario encourages the conservation and reuse of structures, districts and landscapes of architectural, historic and cultural significance, to inspire and benefit Ontarians. The local branch is the Prince Edward County branch, and it holds many exciting events each year to inform and educate its members and the public about the built heritage in the region and its historical and architectural value.
