The Framingham History Center Presents:
The 12th Annual House Tour
Sunday, May 19th
12 - 5 pm
Our 12th Annual House Tour features a diverse collection of sites representing three decades of New England architecture. Join us as we explore a mix of unique homes from dramatic waterfront contemporary to rural antique farmhouse - each transformed through projects that range from a complete teardown/rebuild, to a third kitchen renovation, to an infusion of colorful cosmetics.
Three tour stops are located in Saxonville, a historic and thriving mill village. This neighborhood is replete with modern conveniences, vintage charm, and a lovely natural landscape, which you will surely appreciate from inside a dramatic contemporary with walls of glass looking over Lake Cochituate.
Other tour stops include a gracious New York Colonial showcasing the owner's fine carpentry skill... an expanded Campanelli ranch with a luxurious renovation that emphasizes the timeless appeal of single-level living... and no Framingham House Tour would be complete without a stop in the town's rural Northwest quadrant. Visit an inviting farmhouse infused with exciting new ideas from its recent west-coast transplants.
Finally, Mary Ware Dennett, notable suffragette and social reformer from the early 1900s will be portrayed by local storyteller Libby Franck as she welcomes you to her Arts and Crafts period home, built by her husband architect Hartley Dennett.
Complimentary refreshments will be served at the historic First Baptist Church, the longest continuous-use church building in Framingham. As you tour this beautiful sanctuary, note the the intact slave pews...
