[Not a valid template]A progressive tour of three privately owned Greene & Greene homes–all once at risk–to hear the surprising stories of their preservation. These houses (Mary Ranney, 1907; Van Rossem-Neil, 1903-06; Mary Cole, 1906-07) are rarely open to the public. Guests will visit each interior in small groups to tour and participate in discussions of history and survival. The afternoon will end at a fourth Greene & Greene home (James Culbertson, 1902) for a garden reception.
