We’ve all seen the wonderful mansions that line East Avenue . Here’s your chance to get both the inside and the outside story.

You asked for it, and we are happy to oblige. Back by popular demand, we are once again offering the incredibly popular Mansions of East Avenue Coffee Walk and Rochester Historical Society tour.

We’ll start our morning inside one of the oldest mansions: “Woodside,” home of the Rochester Historical Society. After enjoying refreshments, you’ll have time for a tour of this 1838 Greek Revival house that was built when it was “at the side of the woods.” Our tour will focus on the architectural details of this early home that was a style setter for the area. The Rochester Historical Society is embarking on an exciting period of transition and does not currently have exhibits on display.

The fun doesn’t end there! Soon we’ll be off for our walking tour with Landmark Society’s Architectural Research Coordinator, Cynthia Howk. Cynthia will lead us on a discovery of the beautiful, the unusual, the elegant and the eclectic. We’ll see a range of historic styles on upper East Avenue , Prince Street , and Arnold Park . Those who have been on a tour with Cynthia know you’re in for an educational and very entertaining look at the “architectural life styles of the rich and famous” along Rochester ’s grand boulevard.

Coffee Walks start with coffee and pastries at 9:30 a.m. and continue with a walking tour of 1.5 to 2 hours in length. Pre-registration is required. Landmark members $16, nonmembers $18.
