Touring the Tudors: A Bus Tour of New Rochelle Homes

Sunday, July 23 | 1:00 p.m. | $75 per person ($49 student rate)

Join us on our bus tour Sunday, July 23, led by Barbara Davis, New Rochelle city historian and co-director of Westchester Historical Society. Immerse yourself in some history and culture as we step back to 1920s New Rochelle, a period of intense growth and optimism for the city. Particularly popular in Westchester at the time was the Tudor Revival style, and hundreds of homes in the city were built following this trend, including the “Stockbroker Tudors,” built by wealthy Wall Streeters.

Loosely based on a variety of early English building traditions, ranging from simple folk cottages to early Renaissance palaces, our tour will feature over twenty of these evocative homes, discussing their architecture and histories from the comfort of our charter bus. You will also get the unique opportunity to tour several interiors!

The tour is approximately four hours, stay for a light reception! Departure/end location is at Thomas Paine Cottage Museum, 20 Sicard Avenue, New Rochelle.
