Welcome mats roll out for house tours (Pittsburgh Tribune-Review)
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported on several upcoming house tours that will be taking place across Pittsburgh. The Lawrenceville Historic House Tour, a Grassroots grant recipient, is featured.
Not to be outdone, the Lawrenceville community is offering an unusual house tour this year called Snapshots Through Time on Oct. 4 and 5. A variety of historical re-enactments and living history characterizations will take place, according to house tour public relations coordinator Kate Bayer.
“There will be a young George Washington, Stephen Foster, the 9th Pennsylvania Civil War Re-enactment group, Fritzie Zivic, plus several re-enactors who will portray the immigrant and industrialization era and the 1936 flood,” Bayer says. “This is not an ordinary house tour. It’s a Pittsburgh 250 Community Connections grassroots event.”
