The presentations will focus on both existing structures and those that have been lost over the passing decade, including biographical information on the homeowners. After the orientation, enjoy a stroll around the neighborhood where the locations of lost structures will be identified by placards to provide you with a sense of what once was a lovely residential neighborhood of stately homes.
