The American Porch is Celebrated on 6/5 in Libertyville, IL
May 26, 2010
MainStreet Libertyville is hosting its 7th annual self-guided Historic Walking Tour on Saturday, June 5, from 10am to 2pm. The focus of this year’s tour is the classic front porch, prominent throughout much of American architectural history.
Many houses in Libertyville feature distinctive front porches, and this year’s tour will focus on a carefully selected group of about twenty. A variety of architectural styles will be represented. In addition, several gardens and interiors will be open for viewing.
Tour participants can enjoy walking, biking, or driving through town to see these distinguished homes. MainStreet Libertyville Volunteers will be in Cook Park distributing the Walking Tour booklets describing the history of the houses and directions to the various properties. These tour booklets are offered for a donation of $10.00 to MainStreet Libertyville.
As a long-standing interior design firm in Libertyville, we were asked to lend our expertise and design one of the porches on the tour. Stop by 205 W. Cook Street to see our interpretation of the American porch!
