36th Rogers Park West Ridge Historical Society
Historic House Walk: Newgard's Hidden Gems
|
|
|
Did you know that four-block long Newgard Avenue is sometimes called Chicago's shortest street? Once named Lincoln Avenue, the short street runs through the Henry Newgard "farm" (called that even though he wasn't a farmer), where Newgard built one of the first homes in 1892. The lush trees and large post-Victorian houses that line the streets of Newgard's original property have wide sweeping porches, beautiful interiors, and elaborate backyard spaces that make the six homes on the Rogers Park West Ridge Historical Society's 36th Annual House Walk true treasures.
Take this opportunity to look inside, behind the graceful porches of these lovely homes, and meet the homeowners who have maintained and restored their hidden gems from the turn of the 20th Century while updating them to suit 21st Century living.
Where: The self-guided tour covers two blocks of Newgard and Greenview Avenues between North Shore and Pratt. The total walking distance between homes is less than a quarter of a mile. Tour check-in and parking will be available at Sullivan High School.
When: Sunday, September 18, 12 noon to 4 p.m. Appropriate Covid-19 precautions will be in place based on guidelines from the Chicago Department of Health and the preferences of the homeowner hosts.
Cost: Tickers are $30 per person, $25 with RPWRHS Member Discount.
For more information and to register for the event, click here. Proceeds from this annual fundraising event are used to support the ongoing educational and outreach activities of the Rogers Park/West Ridge Historical Society.
