Special Walking Tour: Sewickley
$20.00
Located 12 miles northwest of Pittsburgh, Sewickley is nestled between hills to the north and the Ohio River to the South. Believed to have taken its name from the Native American word for “Sweet Water” (referring to the sap from maple trees), Sewickley was incorporated as a borough in 1853. In 1895, one writer dubbed it “the Queen of Suburbs.”
The tour will be led by two long-time residents of Sewickley and will focus on Second Historic District, which was home to architects Frank Ellis Alden, Alfred Branch Harlow, and Albert H. Spahr. We will see fine examples of Colonial Revival and Arts & Crafts styles, as well a Victorian farmhouse built in 1876. Refreshments will be served in a resident’s garden at the end of the tour.
