This Saturday, CAG is hosting its second annual architectural walking tour. I will be leading one of the groups around, trying to dispense what knowledge on architectural history I’ve picked up over the years. But to that end, last year I tried to distill that into a short document, which you can read above. Even if you can’t make the tour, I hope you enjoy this guide!
Keep in mind, I’m hardly a trained architectural historian. But I’ve tried to gather information from a wide variety of reliable sources to help you better tell the difference, for instance, between a Second Empire and a Richardsonian Romanesque. Think of it like a birders guide, but for houses.
