Wednesday, July 27th | 6:15pm-8:15pm | Architecture in the Wild: Exploring NOTA and East Avenue's Architectural History

Love old buildings but don’t know a Queen Anne from a Dutch Colonial? The Landmark Society’s Young Urban Preservationists (YUPs for short) are taking students out onto the streets to explore Rochester’s architectural history in its natural setting. In this 2-hour outdoor class, students will walk the Neighborhood of the Arts and the East Avenue neighborhoods and learn the names of important architectural styles; some basic architectural terminology; and how to approximately date the buildings you see every day.

Please note: This class is an active walking tour (approximately two miles on sidewalks and paved paths). Please wear appropriate clothes for the weather and walking shoes.

Age:
This class is appropriate for ages 14+. Anyone under the age of 18 must attend with a parent or guardian. Please purchase one ticket per person attending.


Accessibility:
