Last night was ABSOLUTELY awesome! 81 people came out for a lovely bike ride through the West Bayfront and listened to me ramble on about old houses. 81, you guys. 81!!!
Well, today I saw something I've never seen before, an actual road roller making large scale art prints (outside of a Civil War era barn, to boot). My little guy was pretty impressed, too. Make sure you stop by @groundedprintshop at 19th and Cherry today before 5 and check out the super cool stuff being made and ogle the beautiful old building.
Remember I said I'd keep reminding you about my historic homes bike tour of the West Bayfront for HistErie week? Well, here I am, reminding you about my historic homes bike tour of the West Bayfront for HistErie week! It's happening on Friday, June 9th at 5:30 p.m. initiating from Gridley Park.
Did you guys hear the good news about Irving school's forthcoming reuse? This school (and all of Erie's decommissioned schools) were placed on our (@preservationerie) Endangered Properties List in 2021. This one, for a while, looked like it was destined for the landfill, when a development group planned to have it demoed in favor of building a new housing complex.
Mark your calendars! Friday, June 9th at 5:30! I'm bringing back the old house bike tour for the library's HistERIE week in 2023 with @ourwestbayfront and @preservationerie! All new (old) houses!
🌎Happy Earth Day🌍 everyone! Your friendly neighborhood preservationist here to remind you that the greenest building is the one that's already there!
