Bungalows & Blooms Tour on May 15 May 7th, 2010
SWAN and the Elgin History Museum will present a walking tour of some of the bungalows and gardens that make SWAN a wonderful place to live. Join us on Saturday, May 15 at 12:30 PM at Zion Lutheran Church (330 Griswold Street).
See the “Bungalow Belts” on Orange Street and Morgan Street that contain Chicago Bungalows, and Sears Bungalows on Orange and Oak Streets. What are the characteristics that make a bungalow? What decorative features are unique to bungalows? There are 7 different types of bungalows, defined by roof type and all are present in the Southwest neighborhood. Architectural specialist Sarosh Saher will be your guide.
Tickets are $5 each and can be purchased the day of the tour.
Hats off to the Preservation Committee for organizing a spectacular tour!
