East Mt. Airy Walking Tour
Take A Walking Tour of Tourison: An Architectural History of East Mt. Airy on Sunday November 9 from 1:30-3:30pm
Ashton Tourison, Sr. was born in Mt. Airy in 1851 to a former captain in the Civil War. Beginning in the 1870s, he had a grand vision for and confidence in the future of Mt. Airy. In approximately 1904, he purchased 125 acres between Chew and Stenton Avenues, from E. Durham Street to Meehan Avenue, and advertised his plan for Sedgwick Farms as "stone-built homes, planned on an architectural idea that makes each different from the other, yet in perfect harmony with all." Along with creating timeless beauty, he provided "practical houses incorporating core values of space, air, light, comfort and good taste." With these core values in mind, this walking tour will tell the amazing story of the hundreds of homes built by Ye Sedgwick Farms Company, comprised of Mr. Tourison and his 4 sons. Join us, as we journey back in time to the turn of the 19th century!
This tour is sponsored by the Preservation Alliance for Greater Philadelphia
