This historical architecture tour will introduce participants to a variety of building styles from the mid-18th to the mid-20 century. Participants will learn to distinguish key architectural elements that grew out of the socio-economic and cultural changes in Gloucester during this 200 year period.
Guided walking tours are held rain or shine and last about 1½ hours; participants should be comfortable being on their feet for that amount of time.
