Tour historic homes in Springfield’s Quadrangle-Mattoon Street Historic District, then enjoy hors d’oeuvres, music, and libations at the post-tour social.
Springfield Preservation Trust to announce its 2024 Annual Historic Homes Tour, taking place this year in the Quadrangle-Mattoon Street Historic District.
The event will take place on Sunday, June 2, 2024, from 1:00-4:00 pm, followed by a social gathering at the Springfield Museums, from 4:00-6:00 pm, where hors d’oeuvres, libations, and live music by Nick Di Maria Quartet are in store. Attendees will have the opportunity to enjoy the striking beauty of these historic homes and structures, on the inside and out. All of the buildings on this tour are only accessible through stairs.
This year, the tour will focus on the Quadrangle-Mattoon Street Historic District, which contains notable examples of 19th-century architecture, both domestic and institutional. Additionally, this district contains the cultural center of the city, located in one of the most unique urban open areas of its kind in Massachusetts. Quadrangle-Mattoon Street received its local historic district designation in 1972 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
Tour proceeds support the SPT’s mission of preserving and protecting properties in Springfield that have architectural, historic, educational, or general cultural significance. The Historic Homes Tour & Social are made possible by sponsors and volunteers.
Tickets range from $20 to $80, depending on Trust membership and whether the attendee is purchasing tour, social, or both tickets. While the event tends to sell out, if openings are available day-of, tickets may be available for purchase by cash or credit/debit card at the event.
Please start your tour at the parking lot on Bridge Street across from Kimball Towers. Attendees will park, check in, and pick up a tour brochure. Attendees will park for the social after 4pm at Springfield Museums.
